{"cve":"CVE-2026-99139","nvd":{"published":"2026-10-28T11:17:33.850","modified":"2026-10-28T11:17:33.850","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntcp: fix use-after-free in do_tcp_getsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION)\n\ndo_tcp_getsockopt() reads icsk->icsk_ca_ops->name without holding\nrcu_read_lock(). Since commit 0baf26b0fcd7 (\"bpf: tcp: Support\ntcp_congestion_ops in bpf\"), icsk_ca_ops can point to dynamically\nallocated BPF struct_ops memory that may be freed concurrently via\nsetsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION), leading to a use-after-free.\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _copy_to_user+0x37/0x60\n  Read of size 16 at addr ffff888013505260 by task exploit/149\n   _copy_to_user+0x37/0x60\n   do_tcp_getsockopt+0x158a/0x2460 (net/ipv4/tcp.c:4585)\n   tcp_getsockopt+0x91/0xf0\n   __sys_getsockopt+0xf7/0x170\n\nFix this by holding rcu_read_lock() around the ca_ops->name access,\nusing READ_ONCE() to load icsk_ca_ops, and copying the name to a\nstack buffer before releasing the lock. Also annotate the relevant\nicsk_ca_ops stores with WRITE_ONCE() to fix the accompanying KCSAN\ndata-race issue.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5271b79b7ad68dcb222e893773f92bdabf7750f3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a8e45471afa230c1431c26c8e99ec24377e3b514","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c1804ef016392dd91267d2207ee43b1de34302ca"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-28T11:37:51.394563875+00:00"},"epss":null,"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).
