Summary
CVE-2022-49598 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel's tcp subsystem. The issue involves data races in the handling of sysctl_tcp_mtu_probing, which allows it to be changed concurrently while being read. This can lead to incorrect values being used, potentially resulting in security or stability issues. To mitigate this, the kernel has been updated to add the READ_ONCE() synchronization primitive to the readers of sysctl_tcp_mtu_probling.
