Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: add missing lock protection when polling
Add missing lock protection in poll routine when iterating xarray,
otherwise:
Even with RCU read lock held, only the slot of the radix tree is
ensured to be pinned there, while the data structure (e.g. struct
cachefiles_req) stored in the slot has no such guarantee. The poll
routine will iterate the radix tree and dereference cachefiles_req
accordingly. Thus RCU read lock is not adequate in this case and
spinlock is needed here.
