Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-01-15 14:01:56 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ila: serialize calls to nf_register_net_hooks()

syzbot found a race in ila_add_mapping() [1]

commit 031ae72825ce ("ila: call nf_unregister_net_hooks() sooner")
attempted to fix a similar issue.

Looking at the syzbot repro, we have concurrent ILA_CMD_ADD commands.

Add a mutex to make sure at most one thread is calling nf_register_net_hooks().
