n the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: sysctl: blackhole timeout: avoid using current->nsproxy As mentioned in the previous commit, using the 'net' structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons: - Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only from the opener's netns. - current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops' (null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by syzbot [1] using acct(2). The 'pernet' structure can be obtained from the table->data using container_of().

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mptcp: sysctl: blackhole timeout: avoid using current->nsproxy Como se mencionó en el commit anterior, no se recomienda usar la estructura 'net' a través de 'current' por diferentes razones: - Inconsistencia: obtener información de las redes de red del lector/escritor frente a solo de las redes de red del abridor. - current->nsproxy puede ser NULL en algunos casos, lo que resulta en un 'Oops' (null-ptr-deref), por ejemplo, cuando la tarea actual está saliendo, como lo detectó syzbot [1] usando acct(2). La estructura 'pernet' se puede obtener de table->data usando Container_of().
