kernel: procfs: fix missing RCU protection when reading real_parent in do_task_stat()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's procfs component. When reading /proc/pid/stat, the dotaskstat function accesses task-realparent without proper Read-Copy-Update RCU protection. This missing protection creates a race condition, which can lead to a Use-After-Free UAF vulnerability. A local...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 6.1, Linux 5.10, and Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/proc: dotaskstat: The sig-statslock lock is used to gather statistics about threads/children. The locktasksighand function can cause a hard lockup. If NRCPUS threads call dotaskstat at the same time, and the process has...

kernel: fs/proc: do_task_stat: use sig->stats_lock to gather the threads/children stats

A vulnerability was found in the dotaskstat function in the Linux kernel, where due to excessive lock contention, a potential hard lockup could be created. This can create a performance bottleneck and lead to kernel unresponsiveness...
