Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: raw: add locking for raw flags bitfield
With commit 890e5198a6e5 ("can: raw: use bitfields to store flags in
struct raw_sock") the formerly separate integer values have been integrated
into a single bitfield. This led to a read-modify-write operation when
changing a flag in raw_setsockopt() which now needs a locking to prevent
concurrent access.
Instead of adding a lock/unlock hell in each of the flag manipulations this
patch introduces a wrapper for a new raw_setsockopt_locked() function
analogue to the isotp_setsockopt[_locked]() approach in net/can/isotp.c
