Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
espintcp: Fix race condition in espintcp_close()
This issue was discovered during a code audit.
After cancel_work_sync() is called from espintcp_close(),
espintcp_tx_work() can still be scheduled from paths such as
the Delayed ACK handler or ksoftirqd.
As a result, the espintcp_tx_work() worker may dereference a
freed espintcp ctx or sk.
The following is a simple race scenario:
cpu0 cpu1
espintcp_close()
cancel_work_sync(&ctx->work);
espintcp_write_space()
schedule_work(&ctx->work);
To prevent this race condition, cancel_work_sync() is
replaced with disable_work_sync().
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.6 < 6.12.75)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.16)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.6)
• linux linux kernel 7.0
