Details

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

net: do not sense pfmemalloc status in skb_append_pagefrags()

skb_append_pagefrags() is used by af_unix and udp sendpage() implementation so far.

In commit 326140063946 ("tcp: TX zerocopy should not sense pfmemalloc status") we explained why we should not sense pfmemalloc status for pages owned by user space.

We should also use skb_fill_page_desc_noacc() in skb_append_pagefrags() to avoid following KCSAN report:
