Summary

crypto: af_alg - Disallow concurrent writes in af_alg_sendmsg

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: af_alg - Disallow concurrent writes in af_alg_sendmsg

Issuing two writes to the same af_alg socket is bogus as the data will be interleaved in an unpredictable fashion. Furthermore, concurrent writes may create inconsistencies in the internal socket state.

Disallow this by adding a new ctx->write field that indiciates exclusive ownership for writing.
