In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Handle race between rb_move_tail and rb_check_pages
It seems a data race between ring_buffer writing and integrity check. That is, RB_FLAG of head_page is been updating, while at same time RB_FLAG was cleared when doing integrity check rb_check_pages():
rb_check_pages() rb_handle_head_page():
rb_head_page_deactivate() rb_head_page_set_normal() rb_head_page_activate()
We do intergrity test of the list to check if the list is corrupted and it is still worth doing it. So, let's refactor rb_check_pages() such that we no longer clear and set flag during the list sanity checking.
[1] and [2] are the test to reproduce and the crash report respectively.
