CVE-2023-53853

Not scored yetLast modified Jun 17, 2026

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netlink: annotate accesses to nlk->cb_running

Both netlink_recvmsg() and netlink_native_seq_show() read nlk->cb_running locklessly. Use READ_ONCE() there.

Add corresponding WRITE_ONCE() to netlink_dump() and __netlink_dump_start()

syzbot reported: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __netlink_dump_start / netlink_recvmsg
