CVE-2023-54007
Estado: AplazadaSin puntuar—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vmci_host: fix a race condition in vmci_host_poll() causing GPF
During fuzzing, a general protection fault is observed in vmci_host_poll().
Example thread interleaving that causes the general protection fault is as follows:
In this scenario, vmci_host_poll() reads vmci_host_dev->context first, and then reads vmci_host_dev->ct_type to check that vmci_host_dev->context is initialized. However, since these two reads are not atomically executed, there is a chance of a race condition as described above.
To fix this race condition, read vmci_host_dev->context after checking the value of vmci_host_dev->ct_type so that vmci_host_poll() always reads an initialized context.
