Threats Tagged 'cve-2025-68336'

A data race vulnerability in the Linux kernel's locking/spinlock/debug code was identified and resolved. The issue involved inconsistent use of WRITE_ONCE() in the do_raw_write_lock function, leading to potential concurrency problems detected by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN). The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or integrity but can cause availability issues due to kernel crashes or instability. No known exploits are reported in the wild. No specific affected versions are provided in the data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: locking/spinlock/debug: Fix data-race in do_raw_write_lock KCSAN reports: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in do_raw_write_lock / do_raw_write_lock write (marked) to 0xffff800009cf504c of 4 bytes by task 1102 on cpu 1: do_raw_write_lock+0x120/0x204 _raw_write_lock_irq do_exit call_usermodehelper_exec_async ret_from_fork read to 0xffff800009cf504c of 4 bytes by task 1103 on cpu 0: do_raw_write_lock+0x88/0x204 _raw_write_lock_irq do_exit call_usermodehelper_exec_async ret_from_fork value changed: 0xffffffff -> 0x00000001 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on: CPU: 0 PID: 1103 Comm: kworker/u4:1 6.1.111 Commit 1a365e822372 ("locking/spinlock/debug: Fix various data races") has adressed most of these races, but seems to be not consistent/not complete. >From do_raw_write_lock() only debug_write_lock_after() part has been converted to WRITE_ONCE(), but not debug_write_lock_before() part. Do it now.
