Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:09:23 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tcp: Fix out-of-bounds access for twsk in tcp_ao_established_key().

lockdep_sock_is_held() was added in tcp_ao_established_key()
by the cited commit.

It can be called from tcp_v[46]_timewait_ack() with twsk.

Since it does not have sk->sk_lock, the lockdep annotation
results in out-of-bound access.

  $ pahole -C tcp_timewait_sock vmlinux | grep size
  	/* size: 288, cachelines: 5, members: 8 */
  $ pahole -C sock vmlinux | grep sk_lock
  	socket_lock_t              sk_lock;              /*   440   192 */

Let's not use lockdep_sock_is_held() for TCP_TIME_WAIT.
