TLDRVuln - Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities Made Simple

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

af_unix: Fix data races around sk->sk_shutdown.

KCSAN found a data race around sk->sk_shutdown where unix_release_sock()

and unix_shutdown() update it under unix_state_lock(), OTOH unix_poll()

and unix_dgram_poll() read it locklessly.

We need to annotate the writes and reads with WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE().

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in unix_poll / unix_release_sock
