Accessing the path outside of the state lock\nallows for a race with unix_release_sock(). Fix this by taking the\nstate lock and getting a reference to the path under lock.\n\nIdeally for connected sockets we would cache this information so we\ndon't have to take the lock here. But for now just fix the race.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b1aea2c1960771a276d7e68c7424168eccd0c3da","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d680472db98823d90fc91362910901e468269318","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d8ea44f6090c087fe255d9512fb808574b4d88e8"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72462","score":0.00173,"percentile":0.06748,"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).
