In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: stream: fully roll back denied add-stream state When ADD_OUT_STREAMS is denied, SCTP only shrinks the queued chunks and then lowers outcnt. That leaves removed stream metadata behind, so a later re-add can reuse a stale ext and hit a null-pointer dereference in the scheduler get path. Fix the rollback by tearing down the removed stream state the same way other stream resizes do. Unschedule the current scheduler state, drop the removed stream ext state with sctp_stream_outq_migrate(), and then reschedule the remaining streams. This keeps scheduler-private RR/FC/PRIO lists consistent while fully rolling back denied outgoing stream additions.

FYI: A public exploit for CVE-2026-52929 has been released. Public exploit: https://github.com/NebuSec/CyberMeowfia/tree/main/security-research/Linux-CVE-2026-52929-Ubuntu-7.0.0-28 Demo video: https://x.com/nebusecurity/status/2090585257540259971 Relevant stable kernel fixes / reference patches: RHEL 8 reference (5.10 stable backport): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=0cd2dc6dce8ca47212cd306ccd52eb315ef3cf85 RHEL 9 reference (5.15 stable backport): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=a6724b7b812ac8793514a1d5938db5d9d29ae725 RHEL 10 reference (6.12 stable): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=39dc2b0eb5371a669ebc9ec6072b9184eac95418 For RHEL 8, the 5.10 stable commit is provided as a reference because there is no corresponding maintained upstream 4.18 stable branch. A RHEL 8 fix may therefore require a separate backport. Possible mitigation if SCTP is not required: echo "install sctp /bin/false" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-sctp.conf This prevents the sctp kernel module from being loaded and can reduce exposure on systems that do not require SCTP.
