Race condition In kernel

Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ublk subsystem. A local attacker could exploit a race condition where the kernel reads struct ublksrv_ctrl_cmd from userspace-mapped memory without proper synchronization. This allows a malicious user to concurrently write to the structure, potentially causing the kernel to operate on inconsistent data and leading to unpredictable system behavior.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
