Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exec: fix the racy usage of fs_struct->in_exec
check_unsafe_exec() sets fs->in_exec under cred_guard_mutex, then execve()
paths clear fs->in_exec lockless. This is fine if exec succeeds, but if it
fails we have the following race:
T1 sets fs->in_exec = 1, fails, drops cred_guard_mutex
T2 sets fs->in_exec = 1
T1 clears fs->in_exec
T2 continues with fs->in_exec == 0
Change fs/exec.c to clear fs->in_exec with cred_guard_mutex held.
