Those callback-pointer updates are still plain stores even\nthough the same fields can be read and invoked concurrently on other\nCPUs.\n\nIf another CPU observes an older callback snapshot after the live field\nhas already been restored, callback execution can run with a mismatched\ntarget and sk_user_data state, leading to stale or misdirected wakeups.\n\nUse WRITE_ONCE() for the callback replacement and restore operations so\nthese shared callback fields follow the same visibility contract already\nestablished by the earlier 4022 fixes.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0cb3e2f40679032c1aa2186280a86e5ead0161ee","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/11faefd11ce2448bac7279ab302dd1954a6547fe","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47186409c092cd7dd70350999186c700233e854d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9684fff87124b201e11dea01ded9173025359a0f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b4ccd6eef671d7c44a30123cd29f3acf3de8468e"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-74262","score":0.00185,"percentile":0.08039,"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).
