Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A race condition exists in the Linux kernel related to the usage of
fs struct->in exec. The issue arises when check unsafe exec() sets fs->in exec under cred guard mutex, and then execve() clears fs->in exec lockless. If execve() fails, a race can occur where one thread sets fs->in exec to 1, fails, drops cred guard mutex, and another thread sets fs->in exec to 1 before the first thread clears fs->in exec. This can lead to a situation where the second thread continues with fs->in exec equal to 0.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
