Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-26 03:10:48 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bonding: fix missed rcu protection

When removing the rcu_read_lock in bond_ethtool_get_ts_info() as
discussed [1], I didn't notice it could be called via setsockopt,
which doesn't hold rcu lock, as syzbot pointed:

  stack backtrace:

Fix it by adding rcu_read_lock and take a ref on the real_dev.
Since dev_hold() and dev_put() can take NULL these days, we can
skip checking if real_dev exist.
