| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This vulnerability involves data races within the networking subsystem, specifically related to how network socket pointers are handled concurrently by multiple central processing units (CPUs). Without proper synchronization, this concurrent access can lead to unpredictable system behavior.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: annotate data-races around sk->sk_{data_ready,write_space} skmsg (and probably other layers) are changing these pointers while other cpus might read them concurrently. Add corresponding READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations for UDP, TCP and AF_UNIX.
