CVE-2022-48816

MEDIUM

Linux Kernel 5.10.67-5.11 - NULL Pointer Dereference in SUNRPC Sysfs Read

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: SUNRPC: lock against ->sock changing during sysfs read ->sock can be set to NULL asynchronously unless ->recv_mutex is held. So it is important to hold that mutex. Otherwise a sysfs read can trigger an oops. Commit 17f09d3f619a ("SUNRPC: Check if the xprt is connected before handling sysfs reads") appears to attempt to fix this problem, but it only narrows the race window.
