CVE-2026-99116CVE-2026-99116
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: psp: do not inherit the Rx association on clone
sk->psp_assoc sits past sk_dontcopy_end, so sock_copy() copies it into
every socket accepted from a listener without taking a reference, while
inet_sock_destruct() puts for every inet socket. psp_twsk_init() does
refcount_inc() for the timewait socket, so a child closing through
TIME_WAIT cancels its own put and leaves the association with one
reference and N timewait sockets holding the same pointer. Closing the
listener frees it, and the timewait timers then put freed memory.
Rejecting the association on a listening socket is not sufficient: a socket
can acquire one while established and then be turned back into a listener,
because tcp_disconnect() leaves sk->psp_assoc in place.
