NVD Description

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

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

sctp: fix a TOCTOU race in SCTP_CMD_TIMER_START

The SCTP_CMD_TIMER_START handler checks timer_pending() before calling timer_reduce(). The timer can expire and detach between these operations, causing timer_reduce() to rearm the timer without taking the association reference required for the newly armed timer.

The timer callback later unconditionally drops its association reference, which can leave the association reference count unbalanced and result in use-after-free during association teardown.

Use the return value of timer_reduce() to determine whether the timer was actually armed. Take the association reference only when timer_reduce() successfully starts a new timer, closing the race between checking the timer state and rearming it.

This issue was reported by Nico Yip (@cyeaa) working with TrendAI Zero Day Initiative.
