In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pipe: wakeup wr_wait after setting max_usage
Commit c73be61cede5 ("pipe: Add general notification queue support") a
regression was introduced that would lock up resized pipes under certain
conditions. See the reproducer in [1].
The commit resizing the pipe ring size was moved to a different
function, doing that moved the wakeup for pipe->wr_wait before actually
raising pipe->max_usage. If a pipe was full before the resize occured it
would result in the wakeup never actually triggering pipe_write.
Set @max_usage and @nr_accounted before waking writers if this isn't a
watch queue.

CVE-2023-52672 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's pipe subsystem caused by a regression in how pipes are resized. When a pipe is full and resized, incorrect handling of wakeups for writers can lead to deadlocks or system lockups. This issue has been resolved by ensuring that the pipe's usage limits are updated before wakeup calls are triggered, avoiding race conditions. Updating to a patched kernel version will mitigate this vulnerability and ensure system stability.
