CVE-2026-99138CVE-2026-99138
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: fix use-after-free in do_tcp_getsockopt(TCP_CC_INFO)
do_tcp_getsockopt() reads icsk->icsk_ca_ops and dereferences the
get_info function pointer without rcu_read_lock(). With BPF struct_ops
congestion control, ca_ops can point to dynamically allocated memory
that is freed concurrently, resulting in a use-after-free when the
kernel dereferences or calls through the stale pointer.
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in do_tcp_getsockopt+0x2037/0x23e0
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888013701258 by task exploit/149
do_tcp_getsockopt+0x2037/0x23e0 (net/ipv4/tcp.c:4564)
tcp_getsockopt+0x91/0xf0
__sys_getsockopt+0xf7/0x170
Fix this by wrapping the ca_ops load and get_info call within
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock(), and using READ_ONCE() to load
the icsk_ca_ops pointer.
