In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: icmp: Fix data-races around sysctl. While reading icmp sysctl variables, they can be changed concurrently. So, we need to add READONCE to avoid data-races...

CVE-2022-49639

CVE-2022-49639 refers to a Linux kernel issue in the cipso subsystem where sysctl read operations could race with concurrent writes. The root cause is missing synchronization while reading cipso sysctl variables, and the fix is to add READ_ONCE() to prevent data races. Public documents in the con...

kernel: icmp: Fix data-races around sysctl.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ICMP protocol. A race condition can occur when reading the ICMP sysctl variables due to a missing lock, potentially impacting system stability and resulting in a denial of service...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

kernel is vulnerable to denial of service. A flaw in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP implementation could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service if the sysctl "net.sctp.addipenable" and "authenable" variables were turned on they are off by default...

Linux: Read sysctl variables (KB)

sysctl is used to modify kernel parameters at runtime. The parameters available are those listed under /proc/sys/. Procfs is required for sysctl support in Linux. You can use sysctl to both read and write sysctl data. Note: This script only stores information for other Policy Controls. Copyright ...
