CVE-2023-54283
- Published: 2025-12-30T13:16:17.287
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Address KCSAN report on bpf_lru_list
KCSAN reported a data-race when accessing node->ref.
Although node->ref does not have to be accurate,
take this chance to use a more common READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE()
pattern instead of data_race().
There is an existing bpf_lru_node_is_ref() and bpf_lru_node_set_ref().
This patch also adds bpf_lru_node_clear_ref() to do the
WRITE_ONCE(node->ref, 0) also.
