The synchronization between adding messages and IPC_RMID is incomplete. This creates a memory leak and use-after-free races Affected: 3.0.11, current head Details: Assume a preemptible kernel that is preempted just after > msq = msq_obtain_object_check(ns, msqid) in do_msgrcv(). The only lock that is held is rcu_read_lock(). Now the other thread processes IPC_RMID. When the first task is resumed, then it will happily wait for messages on a deleted queue (including use-after-free memory writes and whatever else).
