Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udp: fix race between close() and udp_abort() Kaustubh reported and diagnosed a panic in udp_lib_lookup().
The root cause is udp_abort() racing with close(). Both
racing functions acquire the socket lock, but udp{v6}_destroy_sock()
release it before performing destructive actions. We can't easily extend the socket lock scope to avoid the race,
instead use the SOCK_DEAD flag to prevent udp_abort from doing
any action when the critical race happens. Diagnosed-and-tested-by: Kaustubh Pandey <kapandey@codeaurora.org>

En el kernel de Linux se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: udp: corrige la ejecución entre close() y udp_abort(). Kaustubh informó y diagnosticó un pánico en udp_lib_lookup(). La causa principal es que udp_abort() compite con close(). Ambas funciones de ejecución adquieren el bloqueo del socket, pero udp{v6}_destroy_sock() lo libera antes de realizar acciones destructivas. No podemos extender fácilmente el alcance del bloqueo del socket para evitar la ejecución; en su lugar, usamos el indicador SOCK_DEAD para evitar que udp_abort realice alguna acción cuando ocurre la ejecución crítica.
