CVE-2025-21635

  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2025-21635
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rds: sysctl: rds_tcp_{rcv,snd}buf: avoid using current->nsproxy As mentioned in a previous commit of this series, using the 'net' structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons: - Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only from the opener's netns. - current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops' (null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by syzbot [1] using acct(2). The per-netns structure can be obtained from the table->data using container_of(), then the 'net' one can be retrieved from the listen socket (if available).

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: rds: sysctl: rds_tcp_{rcv,snd}buf: evitar usar current->nsproxy Como se mencionó en un commit anterior de esta serie, no se recomienda usar la estructura 'net' a través de 'current' por diferentes razones: - Inconsistencia: obtener información de los netns del lector/escritor vs solo de los netns del abridor. - current->nsproxy puede ser NULL en algunos casos, lo que resulta en un 'Oops' (null-ptr-deref), p. ej. cuando la tarea actual está saliendo, como lo detectó syzbot [1] usando acct(2). La estructura per-netns se puede obtener de table->data usando Container_of(), luego la 'net' se puede recuperar del socket de escucha (si está disponible).
