Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-07 16:05:54 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, sockmap: Fix repeated calls to sock_put() when msg has more_data

In tcp_bpf_send_verdict() redirection, the eval variable is assigned to
__SK_REDIRECT after the apply_bytes data is sent, if msg has more_data,
sock_put() will be called multiple times.

We should reset the eval variable to __SK_NONE every time more_data
starts.

This causes:
