In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smack: fix cred UAF in smack_file_send_sigiotask() When inspecting the credentials of another task, objective credentials (->real_cred, accessed with __task_cred()) must always be used. Accessing ->cred on a non-current task is forbidden unless that task is being created or destroyed; a task is allowed to change its own ->cred pointer with no synchronization, and changing ->cred should only affect the current syscall. smack_file_send_sigiotask() was accessing both sets of credentials: First tsk->cred, then __task_cred(tsk). Fix it, always access the objective credentials here. I have tested that this bug can lead to a KASAN-reported UAF of struct cred in smack_file_send_sigiotask(), and that this fix prevents the race.
