"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nkcm: close race conditions on sk_receive_queue\n\nsk->sk_receive_queue is protected by skb queue lock, but for KCM\nsockets its RX path takes mux->rx_lock to protect more than just\nskb queue. However, kcm_recvmsg() still only grabs the skb queue\nlock, so race conditions still exist.\n\nWe can teach kcm_recvmsg() to grab mux->rx_lock too but this would\nintroduce a potential performance regression as struct kcm_mux can\nbe shared by multiple KCM sockets.\n\nSo we have to enforce skb queue lock in requeue_rx_msgs() and handle\nskb peek case carefully in kcm_wait_data(). Fortunately,\nskb_recv_datagram() already handles it nicely and is widely used by\nother sockets, we can just switch to skb_recv_datagram() after\ngetting rid of the unnecessary sock lock in kcm_recvmsg() and\nkcm_splice_read(). Side note: SOCK_DONE is not used by KCM sockets,\nso it is safe to get rid of this check too.\n\nI ran the original syzbot reproducer for 30 min without seeing any\nissue."

"value": "AV:L - The race is triggered only via local AF_KCM syscalls (socket, SIOCKCMATTACH/CLONE, setsockopt KCM_RECV_DISABLE/close, and recvmsg/recvmmsg); remote TCP data may fill the queue but cannot alone exercise the unlocked requeue versus recvmsg window.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race—one thread in kcm_recvmsg while another drives requeue_rx_msgs via KCM_RECV_DISABLE, close/kcm_done, or mux RX paths on sockets they created—and can retry indefinitely; syzbot reproduced a GPF in skb_unlink with a C repro.\nPR:L - net/kcm/ has no capable()/CAP_NET_ADMIN checks; AF_KCM autoloads via MODULE_ALIAS_NETPROTO(PF_KCM), and an unprivileged user can create KCM sockets, attach their own TCP socket with a SOCKET_FILTER, and trigger the race (same PR:L posture as CVE-2025-38717).\nUI:N - The attacker performs socket setup, attach/clone, concurrent recvmsg and disable/close entirely themselves; no victim action is required.\nS:U - This is a standard in-kernel sk_buff heap use-after-free within the host kernel authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - The race leaves recvmsg holding a pointer to an sk_buff already dequeued/freed by requeue_rx_msgs, a reclaimable heap UAF that enables arbitrary kernel read via spray/reuse of the freed skb.\nI:H - Concurrent unlocked unlink/dequeue corrupts the receive-queue list and can double-free the skb, giving a heap write/control-flow primitive consistent with treating exploitable kernel UAFs as High integrity.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, the bug causes a general protection fault/oops in skb_unlink from kcm_recvmsg (as demonstrated by syzbot), which is a full kernel availability impact."
