kernel: add rcu_read_lock() to fcheck() in both dnotify, locks.c and fix fcntl store/load race in locks.c

Linux kernel before 2.6.25.2 does not apply a certain protection mechanism for fcntl functionality, which allows local users to 1 execute code in parallel or 2 exploit a race condition to obtain "re-ordered access to the descriptor table."...

CVE-2006-1523

CVE-2006-1523 affects the Linux kernel’s RCU signal handling: the __group_complete_signal function in signal.c may allow local DoS due to an unsafe BUG_ON, guarded by siglock while switch_exit_pids() uses tasklist_lock. Affected version cited is kernel 2.6.16 (and possibly other 2.6.x). The conne...
