Subject: CVE-2023-53839: dccp: fix data-race around dp->dccps_mss_cache
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dccp: fix data-race around dp->dccps_mss_cache
dccp_sendmsg() reads dp->dccps_mss_cache before locking the socket.
Same thing in do_dccp_getsockopt().
Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations,
and change dccp_sendmsg() to check again dccps_mss_cache
after socket is locked.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-53839 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:
