CVE-2023-1078

Public on 2023-03-08
Modified on 2024-01-12
Description

The upstream bug report describes this issue as follows:

A flaw found in the Linux Kernel in RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) protocol. The rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() uses list_entry() on the head of a list causing a type confusion. Local user can trigger this with rds_message_put(). Type confusion leads to `struct rds_msg_zcopy_info *info` actually points to something else that is potentially controlled by local user. It is known how to trigger this, which causes an OOB access, and a lock corruption.
