DescriptionIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: Fix use of wrong skb when comparing queued RESP challenge serial In rxrpc_post_response(), the code should be comparing the challenge serial number from the cached response before deciding to switch to a newer response, but looks at the newer packet private data instead, rendering the comparison always false. Fix this by switching to look at the older packet. Fix further[1] to substitute the new packet in place of the old one if newer and also to release whichever we don't use.
