Name | CVE-2021-47132 |
Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix sk_forward_memory corruption on retransmission
MPTCP sk_forward_memory handling is a bit special, as such field
is protected by the msk socket spin_lock, instead of the plain
socket lock.
Currently we have a code path updating such field without handling
the relevant lock:
__mptcp_retrans() -> __mptcp_clean_una_wakeup()
Several helpers in __mptcp_clean_una_wakeup() will update
sk_forward_alloc, possibly causing such field corruption, as reported
by Matthieu.
Address the issue providing and using a new variant of blamed function
which explicitly acquires the msk spin lock. |
