Fixed In Version: kernel 6.0-rc3
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem) when multiple calls to xfrm_probe_algs occurred simultaneously. This flaw could allow a local attacker to potentially trigger an out-of-bounds write or leak kernel heap memory by performing an out-of-bounds read and copying it into a socket.

Description Mauro Matteo Cascella 2022-08-29 14:33:17 UTC 
The function *xfrm_probe_algs* updates the availability field of items in the authentication algorithms list (*aalg_list* variable), but this update can occur simultaneously with another invocation of *xfrm_probe_algs*, allowing an attacker to potentially trigger either an OOB write or leaking kernel heap memory by performing an OOB read and copying it into a socket.
