{"cve":"CVE-2026-99116","nvd":{"published":"2026-10-28T11:17:31.140","modified":"2026-10-28T11:17:31.140","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: psp: do not inherit the Rx association on clone\n\nsk->psp_assoc sits past sk_dontcopy_end, so sock_copy() copies it into\nevery socket accepted from a listener without taking a reference, while\ninet_sock_destruct() puts for every inet socket. psp_twsk_init() does\nrefcount_inc() for the timewait socket, so a child closing through\nTIME_WAIT cancels its own put and leaves the association with one\nreference and N timewait sockets holding the same pointer. Closing the\nlistener frees it, and the timewait timers then put freed memory.\n\nRejecting the association on a listening socket is not sufficient: a socket\ncan acquire one while established and then be turned back into a listener,\nbecause tcp_disconnect() leaves sk->psp_assoc in place.\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in psp_twsk_assoc_free+0x6f/0xf0\n  Write of size 4 at addr ffff888110f9255c by task swapper/7/0\n   psp_twsk_assoc_free+0x6f/0xf0\n   inet_twsk_put+0xda/0x1b0\n   call_timer_fn+0x53/0x2e0\n   __run_timers+0x764/0xa80\n  Freed by task 99:\n   kfree+0x1a7/0x500\n   process_one_work+0x7ec/0x1100\n\nAn association carries a per-connection SPI and key, so a child must not\ninherit the parent's.
