NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek64k-modules-core package and not the kernel-uek64k-modules-core package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

net: Fix TOCTOU issue in sk_is_readable()

sk->sk_prot->sock_is_readable is a valid function pointer when sk resides in a sockmap. After the last sk_psock_put() (which usually happens when socket is removed from sockmap), sk->sk_prot gets restored and sk->sk_prot->sock_is_readable becomes NULL.

This makes sk_is_readable() racy, if the value of sk->sk_prot is reloaded after the initial check. Which in turn may lead to a null pointer dereference.

Ensure the function pointer does not turn NULL after the check.
