Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: ipset: fix region locking in hash types Region locking introduced in v5.6-rc4 contained three macros to handle the region locks: ahash_bucket_start(), ahash_bucket_end() which gave back the start and end hash bucket values belonging to a given region lock and ahash_region() which should give back the region lock belonging to a given hash bucket. The latter was incorrect which can lead to a race condition between the garbage collector and adding new elements when a hash type of set is defined with timeouts.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 5.4.24 < 5.4.294) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5.8 < 5.6) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.6.1 < 5.10.238) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.183) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.139) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.91) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.29) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.14.7) • linux linux kernel 5.6 • linux linux kernel 6.15 • debian debian linux 11.0
