Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: Set object to close if ondemand_id < 0 in copen
If copen is maliciously called in the user mode, it may delete the request
corresponding to the random id. And the request may have not been read yet.
Note that when the object is set to reopen, the open request will be done
with the still reopen state in above case. As a result, the request
corresponding to this object is always skipped in select_req function, so
the read request is never completed and blocks other process.
Fix this issue by simply set object to close if its id < 0 in copen.
A vulnerability was found in the cachefiles subsystem in the Linux Kernel involving the copen function being misused with an ondemand_id less than 0. This could lead to the deletion of a request before it was read, causing the request to be skipped and blocking other processes. The issue was fixed by ensuring that if the ondemand_id is less than 0, the object is set to close. This prevents requests from being skipped and ensures proper handling and completion of read requests, maintaining system stability.
Отчет
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not vulnerable to this CVE, as it does not affect the versions or configurations of the Linux kernel used in its distributions.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
