- Summary
- CVE-2025-21636 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.180.1-1
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: sysctl: plpmtudprobeinterval: avoid using current->nsproxy
As mentioned in a previous commit of this series, 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 'net' structure can be obtained from the table->data using container_of().
Note that table->data could also be used directly, as this is the only member needed from the 'net' structure, but that would increase the size of this fix, to use '*data' everywhere 'net->sctp.probe_interval' is used.
