TIMELINE Jul 30 Reserved by Linux Aug 7 Published (CNA: Linux) Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2024-42250 (Linux). CVSS 7.8 → 5.5 (NVD).
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.
