CWE-362  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade torvalds/linux to version 6.12.114, 6.18.50, 7.0.11 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') in the netfs_retry_read_subrequests and netfs_retry_write_stream functions due to missing locking when adding new subrequests into stream->subrequests. An attacker can cause kernel memory corruption, arbitrary code execution, or denial of service by racing the addition of subrequests via crafted protocol replies from a malicious or compromised remote server.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
