{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2024-26732","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  net: implement lockless setsockopt(SO_PEEK_OFF)  syzbot reported a lockdep violation [1] involving af_unix support of SO_PEEK_OFF.  Since SO_PEEK_OFF is inherently not thread safe (it uses a per-socket sk_peek_off field), there is really no point to enforce a pointless thread safety in the kernel.  After this patch :  - setsockopt(SO_PEEK_OFF) no longer acquires the socket lock.  - skb_consume_udp() no longer has to acquire the socket lock.  - af_unix no longer needs a special version of sk_set_peek_off(),   because it does not lock u-\u003eiolock anymore.  As a followup, we could replace prot-\u003eset_peek_off to be a boolean and avoid an indirect call, since we always use sk_set_peek_off().
