In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: lock the socket in sock_gettstamp() sk->sk_flags must only be changed while holding the socket lock, because sock_set_flag() and sock_reset_flag() use non atomic operations (__set_bit() and __clear_bit()). sock_gettstamp() is one of the last places where a bit of sk->sk_flags is changed from a syscall without owning the socket lock, through sock_enable_timestamp(sk, SOCK_TIMESTAMP). sk_set_memalloc() and sk_clear_memalloc() also change sk->sk_flags without the socket lock, but their callers (nbd, iscsi_tcp, nvme-tcp, sunrpc, wireguard) need a careful audit, this will be addressed in a separate patch. Jungwoo Lee and Wongi Lee reported an UDP socket use-after-free caused by this bug: a SIOCGSTAMPNS_NEW ioctl racing with bind() can cancel the SOCK_RCU_FREE bit that udp_lib_get_port() just set, because both threads perform a read-modify-write on the same word. CPU 0 (bind) CPU 1 (SIOCGSTAMPNS_NEW)
read sk_flags = F read sk_flags = F
compute F | BIT(SOCK_RCU_FREE) compute F | BIT(SOCK_TIMESTAMP)
store F | BIT(SOCK_RCU_FREE)
sk_add_node_rcu(sk, ...)
store F | BIT(SOCK_TIMESTAMP)
After the lost update, SOCK_RCU_FREE is clear while the socket is
visible to lockless UDP receive lookups. sk_destruct() then frees
the socket immediately instead of waiting for a RCU grace period,
while the receive path still holds a reference-less pointer to it:

Only grab the socket lock when SOCK_TIMESTAMP has to be set,
to keep the common case lockless.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem. A local attacker can exploit a race condition during concurrent socket operations, such as retrieving timestamps while binding a network socket, because socket flags are modified without proper locking. This issue causes socket memory to be prematurely freed while still referenced by packet processing paths, resulting in a use-after-free condition. Successful exploitation can lead to a system crash and Denial of Service (DoS), or potentially allow privilege escalation.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated Moderate in impact for Red Hat products because an attacker must have local user privileges to trigger a precise race condition across concurrent socket operations. Standard deployments permit unprivileged processes to manage their own sockets, but winning the timing window between timestamp queries and address binding is difficult to achieve consistently. While a successful race can result in premature socket deallocation and kernel memory corruption leading to system instability or elevated privileges, the prerequisite for local access and high attack complexity constrains the overall risk.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: lock the socket in sock_gettstamp() sk->sk_flags must only be changed while holding the socket lock, because sock_set_flag() and sock_reset_flag() use non atomic operations (__set_bit() and __clear_bit()). sock_gettstamp() is one of the last places where a bit of sk->sk_flags is changed from a syscall without owning the socket lock, through sock_enable_timestamp(sk, SOCK_TIMESTAMP). sk_set_memalloc() and sk_clear_memalloc() also change sk->sk_flags without the socket lock, but their callers (nbd, iscsi_tcp, nvme-tcp, sunrpc, wireguard) need a careful audit, this will be addressed in a separate patch.
