CVE-2023-54006

Not scored yetLast modified Jun 17, 2026

Description

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

af_unix: Fix data-race around unix_tot_inflight.

unix_tot_inflight is changed under spin_lock(unix_gc_lock), but unix_release_sock() reads it locklessly.

Let's use READ_ONCE() for unix_tot_inflight.

Note that the writer side was marked by commit 9d6d7f1cb67c ("af_unix: annote lockless accesses to unix_tot_inflight & gc_in_progress")

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in unix_inflight / unix_release_sock
