Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2021-47248 (Linux). CVSS 7.8 → 4.7 (NVD).
Description
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.
