In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix missing locking causing hanging calls
If a call gets aborted (e.g. because kafs saw a signal) between it being
queued for connection and the I/O thread picking up the call, the abort
will be prioritised over the connection and it will be removed from
local->new_client_calls by rxrpc_disconnect_client_call() without a lock
being held. This may cause other calls on the list to disappear if a race
occurs.
Fix this by taking the client_call_lock when removing a call from whatever
list its ->wait_link happens to be on.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local user can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) due to missing locking in the RxRPC network protocol subsystem. When a queued client call is aborted before being processed, improper synchronization allows a race condition that can corrupt the pending call queue and cause connection requests to hang indefinitely.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this vulnerability on systems that do not use the in-kernel AFS filesystem or RxRPC protocol, prevent the rxrpc kernel module from loading:
- Create a modprobe configuration file to disable autoloading:
echo "install rxrpc /bin/true" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-rxrpc.conf
- If the module is currently loaded, unload it:
modprobe -r rxrpc
Caveats: Disabling rxrpc prevents the use of the AF_RXRPC socket family and the in-kernel AFS client (kafs). If the module is currently in use and cannot be unloaded dynamically, a system reboot is required for the change to take full effect.
