5.5

Medium

VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue is related to the inet recv error() function being called without holding the socket lock, which can cause an IPv6 socket to mutate to IPv4 with the IPV6 ADDRFORM socket option and trigger a KCSAN warning. This occurs because the sk->sk family value is read only once in inet recv error().
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
