CVE-2024-35908  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-401  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:9 kernel to version 0:5.14.0-503.11.1.el9_5 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tls: get psock ref after taking rxlock to avoid leak

At the start of tls_sw_recvmsg, we take a reference on the psock, and then call tls_rx_reader_lock. If that fails, we return directly without releasing the reference.

Instead of adding a new label, just take the reference after locking has succeeded, since we don't need it before.
