In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix timeout of a call that hasn't yet been granted a channel
afs_make_call() calls rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() to begin a call (which may
get stalled in the background waiting for a connection to become
available); it then calls rxrpc_kernel_set_max_life() to set the timeouts -
but that starts the call timer so the call timer might then expire before
we get a connection assigned - leading to the following oops if the call
stalled:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

RIP: 0010:rxrpc_alloc_txbuf+0xc0/0x157

Fix this by noting the timeouts in struct rxrpc_call when the call is
created. The timer will be started when the first packet is transmitted.
It shouldn't be possible to trigger this directly from userspace through
AF_RXRPC as sendmsg() will return EBUSY if the call is in the
waiting-for-conn state if it dropped out of the wait due to a signal.
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RxRPC/AFS networking stack. When making an AFS call, the call timer can expire before a connection is assigned if the call gets stalled waiting for a connection. This causes a NULL pointer dereference in rxrpc_alloc_txbuf() when attempting to send an ACK.
Отчет
This primarily affects AFS filesystem users. Direct exploitation from userspace via AF_RXRPC sockets is prevented as sendmsg() returns EBUSY in the vulnerable state. The issue requires specific timing conditions where connection establishment is delayed while the call timer expires.
