When the\ntimeout is hit on the server, the server will send a FIN, which triggers\na cancellation request via xs_reset_transport().  When the timeout is\nhit on the client, another cancellation request happens via\nxs_tls_handshake_sync().\n\nAdd a test_and_set_bit(HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED) in the pending cancel\npath so duplicate cancels can be detected.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-662"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/011ae80c49d9bfa5b4336f8bd387cd25c7593663","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/15564bd67e2975002f2a8e9defee33e321d3183f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3c330f1dee3cd92b57e19b9d21dc8ce5970b09be","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e1641177e7fb48a0a5a06658d4aab51da6656659"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-68775","score":0.00548,"percentile":0.45605,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
