Local service interruption via unsynchronized NET/ROM sysctl reads
Published May 17, 2024 · Updated May 12, 2026
A data race in affected Linux kernel NET/ROM releases allows local users to interrupt service through concurrent reset-circuit sysctl access. The nr_rx_frame and nr_state*_machine paths read sysctl_netrom_reset_circuit without READ_ONCE while a sysctl writer can change the shared value concurrently. Low-privileged local access and a difficult race are required; published sources do not identify whether interruption manifests as a hang, crash, or reboot.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
