CVE-2024-26750 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-default-base to version 6.4.0-150600.23.14.2.150600.12.4.3 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-base package and not the kernel-default-base package as distributed by SLES.
See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Drop oob_skb ref before purging queue in GC.
syzbot reported another task hung in __unix_gc(). [0]
The current while loop assumes that all of the left candidates have oob_skb and calling kfree_skb(oob_skb) releases the remaining candidates.
However, I missed a case that oob_skb has self-referencing fd and another fd and the latter sk is placed before the former in the candidate list. Then, the while loop never proceeds, resulting the task hung.
__unix_gc() has the same loop just before purging the collected skb, so we can call kfree_skb(oob_skb) there and let __skb_queue_purge() release all inflight sockets.
