Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A flaw was identified in the Linux kernel where
skb append pagefrags() does not properly handle pfmemalloc status. This issue impacts the af unix and udp sendpage() implementations. The vulnerability can lead to a data race condition as reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN), potentially resulting in system instability or unexpected behavior. The issue arises from incorrectly sensing pfmemalloc status for pages owned by user space and failing to use skb fill page desc noacc() in skb append pagefrags().Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
