Amazon Linux AMI: CVE-2023-52885: Security patch for kernel (ALAS-2023-1827)

Description

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

SUNRPC: Fix UAF in svc_tcp_listen_data_ready()

After the listener svc_sock is freed, and before invoking svc_tcp_accept()

for the established child sock, there is a window that the newsock

retaining a freed listener svc_sock in sk_user_data which cloning from

parent. In the race window, if data is received on the newsock, we will

observe use-after-free report in svc_tcp_listen_data_ready().

Reproduce by two tasks:

1. while :; do rpc.nfsd 0 ; rpc.nfsd; done

2. while :; do echo "" | ncat -4 127.0.0.1 2049 ; done

Fix the UAF by simply doing nothing in svc_tcp_listen_data_ready()

if state != TCP_LISTEN, that will avoid dereferencing svsk for all

child socket.
