CVE-2023-53401

Estado: ModificadaMedia (4.7)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm: kmem: fix a NULL pointer dereference in obj_stock_flush_required()

KCSAN found an issue in obj_stock_flush_required(): stock->cached_objcg can be reset between the check and dereference:

value changed: 0xffff8881382d52c0 -> 0xffff888138893740

Fix it by using READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for all accesses to stock->cached_objcg.
