Summary

In the Linux kernel, ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() frees buffer pages, which is not allowed when resizing is disabled. A non-consuming reader is at risk of use-after-free in rb_advance_iter(). The function now returns -EBUSY when resize_disabled is set, matching ring_buffer_resize() behavior.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes potential use-after-free memory access, which could lead to system crashes or privilege escalation in the kernel.

Recommendation

It is recommended to apply the patch provided by the Linux kernel vendor immediately.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ring-buffer: Prevent subbuf order change when resizing is disabled Because ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() frees buffer pages, we can't allow it when resizing is disabled. A non-consuming reader is at risk of use-after-free (rb_advance_iter()). Return -EBUSY on resize_disabled, matching ring_buffer_resize() behaviour.
