Affected: Linux

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ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() is racy with ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set, it can allocate a reader page with an outdated order.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.
