Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2022-50363 (Linux). CVSS 9.8 → 5.5 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
skmsg: pass gfp argument to alloc_sk_msg()
syzbot found that alloc_sk_msg() could be called from a
non sleepable context. sk_psock_verdict_recv() uses
rcu_read_lock() protection.
We need the callers to pass a gfp_t argument to avoid issues.
syzbot report was:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:274
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 3613, name: syz-executor414
preempt_count: 0, expected: 0
RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 0
INFO: lockdep is turned off.
CPU: 0 PID: 3613 Comm: syz-executor414 Not tainted 6.0.0-syzkaller-09589-g55be6084c8e0 #0
