Details

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.
