When a socket\nis inserted into a sockmap (BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT) before TLS RX is\nconfigured, tls_sw_strparser_arm() saves sk_psock_verdict_data_ready\nas rx_ctx->saved_data_ready.  On data arrival:\n\n  tls_data_ready -> tls_strp_data_ready -> tls_rx_msg_ready\n    -> saved_data_ready() = sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()\n      -> tcp_read_skb() drains sk_receive_queue via __skb_unlink()\n         without calling tcp_eat_skb(), so copied_seq is not advanced.\n\ntls_strp_msg_load() then finds tcp_inq() >= full_len (stale), calls\ntcp_recv_skb() on the now-empty queue, hits WARN_ON_ONCE(!first), and\nreturns with rx_ctx->strp.anchor.frag_list pointing at a psock-owned\n(potentially freed) skb.  tls_decrypt_sg() subsequently walks that\nfrag_list: use-after-free.\n\nApply the same fix as sk_psock_strp_data_ready(): if a TLS RX context\nis present, call psock->saved_data_ready (sock_def_readable) to wake\nrecv() waiters and return immediately, leaving the receive queue\nuntouched.  TLS retains sole ownership of the queue and decrypts the\nrecord normally through tls_sw_recvmsg().","published":"2026-07-19T16:17:43.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T21:17:20.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-362"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00343,"percentile":0.27619,"date":"2026-10-26","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 (0.34%).
