CVE-2022-49420 Affecting kernel-kdump package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-kdump package and not the kernel-kdump package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

net: annotate races around sk->sk_bound_dev_if

UDP sendmsg() is lockless, and reads sk->sk_bound_dev_if while this field can be changed by another thread.

Adds minimal annotations to avoid KCSAN splats for UDP. Following patches will add more annotations to potential lockless readers.

I chose to not add Fixes: tag because race has minor consequences and stable teams busy enough.
