In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: keys: Fix linking a duplicate key to a keyring's assocarray When making a DNS query inside the kernel using dnsquery(), the request code can in rare cases end up creating a duplicate index key in the assocarray of the destination keyring. It is eventually found by a BUGON() check in the assocarray implementation and results in a crash. Example report: [2158499.700025] kernel BUG at ../lib/assocarray.c:652!

The function registers its global DNS resolver cache as current->cred.threadkeyring and passes the query to requestkeynet() -> requestkeytag() -> requestkeyandlink(). * Function requestkeyandlink() creates a keyringsearchcontext object. Its matchdata.cmp method gets set via a call to type->matchpreparse() (resolves to dnsresolvermatchpreparse()) to dnsresolvercmp(). * Function requestkeyandlink() continues and invokes searchprocesskeyringsrcu() which returns that a given key was not found. The control is then passed to requestkeyandlink() -> constructallockey(). * Concurrently to that, a second task similarly makes a DNS query for "abcdef." and its result gets inserted into the DNS resolver cache. * Back on the first task, function constructallockey() first runs _keylinkbegin() to determine an assocarrayedit operation to insert a new key. Index keys in the array are compared exactly as-is, using keyringcompare_object(). The operation ---truncated---
