      "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: ks8851: Handle softirqs at the end of IRQ thread to fix hang\n\nThe ks8851_irq() thread may call ks8851_rx_pkts() in case there are\nany packets in the MAC FIFO, which calls netif_rx(). This netif_rx()\nimplementation is guarded by local_bh_disable() and local_bh_enable().\nThe local_bh_enable() may call do_softirq() to run softirqs in case\nany are pending. One of the softirqs is net_rx_action, which ultimately\nreaches the driver .start_xmit callback. If that happens, the system\nhangs. The entire call chain is below:\n\nks8851_start_xmit_par from netdev_start_xmit\nnetdev_start_xmit from dev_hard_start_xmit\ndev_hard_start_xmit from sch_direct_xmit\nsch_direct_xmit from __dev_queue_xmit\n__dev_queue_xmit from __neigh_update\n__neigh_update from neigh_update\nneigh_update from arp_process.constprop.0\narp_process.constprop.0 from __netif_receive_skb_one_core\n__netif_receive_skb_one_core from process_backlog\nprocess_backlog from __napi_poll.constprop.0\n__napi_poll.constprop.0 from net_rx_action\nnet_rx_action from __do_softirq\n__do_softirq from call_with_stack\ncall_with_stack from do_softirq\ndo_softirq from __local_bh_enable_ip\n__local_bh_enable_ip from netif_rx\nnetif_rx from ks8851_irq\nks8851_irq from irq_thread_fn\nirq_thread_fn from irq_thread\nirq_thread from kthread\nkthread from ret_from_fork\n\nThe hang happens because ks8851_irq() first locks a spinlock in\nks8851_par.c ks8851_lock_par() spin_lock_irqsave(&ksp->lock, ...)\nand with that spinlock locked, calls netif_rx(). Once the execution\nreaches ks8851_start_xmit_par(), it calls ks8851_lock_par() again\nwhich attempts to claim the already locked spinlock again, and the\nhang happens.\n\nMove the do_softirq() call outside of the spinlock protected section\nof ks8851_irq() by disabling BHs around the entire spinlock protected\nsection of ks8851_irq() handler. Place local_bh_enable() outside of\nthe spinlock protected section, so that it can trigger do_softirq()\nwithout the ks8851_par.c ks8851_lock_par() spinlock being held, and\nsafely call ks8851_start_xmit_par() without attempting to lock the\nalready locked spinlock.\n\nSince ks8851_irq() is protected by local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable()\nnow, replace netif_rx() with __netif_rx() which is not duplicating the\nlocal_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable() calls."

      "value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: ks8851: maneja softirqs al final del subproceso IRQ para corregir el bloqueo. El subproceso ks8851_irq() puede llamar a ks8851_rx_pkts() en caso de que haya paquetes en MAC FIFO, que llama netif_rx(). Esta implementaci\u00f3n de netif_rx() est\u00e1 protegida por local_bh_disable() y local_bh_enable(). local_bh_enable() puede llamar a do_softirq() para ejecutar softirqs en caso de que haya alguno pendiente. Uno de los softirqs es net_rx_action, que finalmente llega a la devoluci\u00f3n de llamada .start_xmit del controlador. Si eso sucede, el sistema se bloquea. La cadena de llamadas completa est\u00e1 a continuaci\u00f3n: ks8851_start_xmit_par de netdev_start_xmit netdev_start_xmit de dev_hard_start_xmit dev_hard_start_xmit de sch_direct_xmit sch_direct_xmit de __dev_queue_xmit __dev_queue_xmit de __neigh_update __neigh_update de neigh_update neigh_update de .constprop.0 arp_process.constprop.0 de __netif_receive_skb_one_core __netif_receive_skb_one_core de Process_backlog Process_backlog de __napi_poll.constprop.0 __napi_poll .constprop.0 de net_rx_action net_rx_action de __do_softirq __do_softirq de call_with_stack call_with_stack de do_softirq do_softirq de __local_bh_enable_ip __local_bh_enable_ip de netif_rx netif_rx de ks8851_irq ks8851_irq de irq_thread_fn _thread_fn de irq_thread irq_thread de kthread kthread de ret_from_fork El bloqueo ocurre porque ks8851_irq() primero bloquea un spinlock en ks8851_par. c ks8851_lock_par() spin_lock_irqsave(&ksp->lock, ...) y con ese spinlock bloqueado, llama a netif_rx(). Una vez que la ejecuci\u00f3n llega a ks8851_start_xmit_par(), llama nuevamente a ks8851_lock_par(), lo que intenta reclamar el spinlock ya bloqueado nuevamente y se bloquea. Mueva la llamada do_softirq() fuera de la secci\u00f3n protegida por spinlock de ks8851_irq() deshabilitando los BH alrededor de toda la secci\u00f3n protegida por spinlock del controlador ks8851_irq(). Coloque local_bh_enable() fuera de la secci\u00f3n protegida de spinlock, para que pueda activar do_softirq() sin que se mantenga el spinlock ks8851_par.c ks8851_lock_par(), y llame de forma segura a ks8851_start_xmit_par() sin intentar bloquear el spinlock ya bloqueado. Dado que ks8851_irq() est\u00e1 protegido por local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable() ahora, reemplace netif_rx() con __netif_rx() que no duplica las llamadas local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable()."
