Subject: CVE-2025-38212: ipc: fix to protect IPCS lookups using RCU

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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

ipc: fix to protect IPCS lookups using RCU

syzbot reported that it discovered a use-after-free vulnerability, [0]

[0]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/67af13f8.050a0220.21dd3.0038.GAE@google.com/

idr_for_each() is protected by rwsem, but this is not enough.  If it is
not protected by RCU read-critical region, when idr_for_each() calls
radix_tree_node_free() through call_rcu() to free the radix_tree_node
structure, the node will be freed immediately, and when reading the next
node in radix_tree_for_each_slot(), the already freed memory may be read.

Therefore, we need to add code to make sure that idr_for_each() is
protected within the RCU read-critical region when we call it in
shm_destroy_orphaned().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-38212 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
