"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\novpn: fix peer refcount leak in TCP error paths\n\nWhen either the TCP RX or TX error path calls ovpn_peer_hold() followed\nby schedule_work(&peer->tcp.defer_del_work), and the work item is already\npending from the other path, schedule_work() returns false and the work\nruns only once. Since ovpn_tcp_peer_del_work() calls ovpn_peer_put()\nexactly once, the extra reference taken by the losing path is never\ndropped, leaking the peer object.\n\nThe race window:\n\n CPU0 (strparser/RX error): CPU1 (tcp_tx_work/TX error):\n ovpn_peer_hold() <- refcnt+1 ovpn_peer_hold() <- refcnt+2\n schedule_work() <- queued schedule_work() <- NO-OP\n (work already pending)\n ovpn_tcp_peer_del_work runs:\n ovpn_peer_del()\n ovpn_peer_put() <- refcnt+1\n <- peer never freed\n\nFix by checking the return value of schedule_work() in both paths and\ncalling ovpn_peer_put() to drop the extra reference if the work was\nalready pending. ovpn_peer_hold() is kept unconditional in the TX path\nas it cannot fail at that point."
