      <title>CVE-2023-53204 — af_unix: Fix data-races around user-&gt;unix_inflight.</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-53204</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;af_unix: Fix data-races around user-&amp;gt;unix_inflight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;user-&amp;gt;unix_inflight is changed under spin_lock(unix_gc_lock),
but too_many_unix_fds() reads it locklessly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#39;s annotate the write/read accesses to user-&amp;gt;unix_inflight.&lt;/p&gt;
