{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2024-44946","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  kcm: Serialise kcm_sendmsg() for the same socket.  syzkaller reported UAF in kcm_release(). [0]  The scenario is    1. Thread A builds a skb with MSG_MORE and sets kcm-\u003eseq_skb.    2. Thread A resumes building skb from kcm-\u003eseq_skb but is blocked      by sk_stream_wait_memory()    3. Thread B calls sendmsg() concurrently, finishes building kcm-\u003eseq_skb      and puts the skb to the write queue    4. Thread A faces an error and finally frees skb that is already in the      write queue    5. kcm_release() does double-free the skb in the write queue  When a thread is building a MSG_MORE skb, another thread must not touch it.  Let's add a per-sk mutex and serialise kcm_sendmsg().
