CVE-2025-21637
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: sysctl: udp_port: 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:
The 'net' structure can be obtained from the table->data using container_of().
Note that table->data could also be used directly, but that would increase the size of this fix, while 'sctp.ctl_sock' still needs to be retrieved from 'net' structure.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
- 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).
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
