Summary

In the Linux kernel, send_signal_locked() rewrites sender IDs for the target namespace, and group sends reuse the same siginfo, so one recipient can affect the next. This allows cross-recipient influence over signal data.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to information leakage or incorrect signal behavior, potentially allowing an attacker to manipulate siginfo data of other processes.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that copies the siginfo before modifying it.
