CVE-2025-38112

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: Fix TOCTOU issue in sk_is_readable() sk->sk_prot->sock_is_readable is a valid function pointer when sk resides in a sockmap. After the last sk_psock_put() (which usually happens when socket is removed from sockmap), sk->sk_prot gets restored and sk->sk_prot->sock_is_readable becomes NULL. This makes sk_is_readable() racy, if the value of sk->sk_prot is reloaded after the initial check. Which in turn may lead to a null pointer dereference. Ensure the function pointer does not turn NULL after the check.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: Se solucionó el problema de TOCTOU en sk_is_readable(). sk->sk_prot->sock_is_readable es un puntero a función válido cuando sk reside en un mapa de sockets. Tras el último sk_psock_put() (que suele ocurrir al eliminar un socket de un mapa de sockets), sk->sk_prot se restaura y sk->sk_prot->sock_is_readable se convierte en NULL. Esto hace que sk_is_readable() sea arriesgado si el valor de sk->sk_prot se recarga después de la comprobación inicial. Esto, a su vez, puede provocar una desreferencia de puntero nulo. Asegúrese de que el puntero a función no se convierta en NULL después de la comprobación.
