CVE-2022-50764: Linux

EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6/sit: use DEV_STATS_INC() to avoid data-races syzbot/KCSAN reported that multiple cpus are updating dev->stats.tx_error concurrently. This is because sit tunnels are NETIF_F_LLTX, meaning their ndo_start_xmit() is not protected by a spinlock. While original KCSAN report was about tx path, rx path has the same issue.

Affected products

• Linux Linux: from 2.6.37, before 5.15.86 (fixed in 5.15.86); from 5.16, before 6.0.16 (fixed in 6.0.16); from 6.1, before 6.1.2 (fixed in 6.1.2)
