DescriptionNVD

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

bonding: annotate data-races around slave->last_rx

slave->last_rx and slave->target_last_arp_rx[...] can be read and written locklessly. Add READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() annotations.

syzbot reported:

AnalysisAI

A data-race condition in the Linux kernel bonding driver's slave->last_rx field can be accessed without proper synchronization, potentially causing a denial of service on systems using bonded network interfaces. Local attackers with limited privileges can trigger the race condition to cause system instability or crashes. …
