A concurrent\nclose() can free the socket between the lock release and the subsequent\nsk->sk_state access, resulting in a use-after-free.\n\nOther functions in the same file (sco_sock_timeout(), sco_conn_del())\ncorrectly use sco_sock_hold() to safely hold a reference under the lock.\n\nFix by using sco_sock_hold() to take a reference before releasing the\nlock, and adding sock_put() on all exit paths.","published":"2026-04-06T08:16:39.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T19:17:52.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-416"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00307,"percentile":0.23398,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.31%).
