In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with ring_buffer_alloc_read_page()
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() is racy with ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set,
it can allocate a reader page with an outdated order. This isn't a big
issue, the user can still re-allocate a new reader page and try again.
However, what is more problematic is if the value of subbuf_order
changes in the middle of ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(). In that case,
bpage->order might not match the actual allocated memory.
Use bpage->order for the allocation to prevent this race. (NVD)
