Jump to a new 'exit' label to call\n__sock_put() (which will become sock_put() in the next commit) to fix\nthis potential leak.\n\nWhile at it, drop the '!msk' check which cannot happen because it is\nnever reset, and explicitly mark the remaining one as \"unlikely\".","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/25e37407442b8766ec2cf52fb4e31b5c3d3aeeae","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/81d8142148164176385c279c7c1e1d581867423d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9426265e157dd77ec237c795901ed4dea6d69b5c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9634cb35af17019baec21ca648516ce376fa10e6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/acd3d3562315c99f3c0db16f0fcc5f0306638982"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:36:28.938604137+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-46158","score":0.00128,"percentile":0.02432,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
