CVE-2026-99139
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: fix use-after-free in do_tcp_getsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) do_tcp_getsockopt() reads ics
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: fix use-after-free in do_tcp_getsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION)
do_tcp_getsockopt() reads icsk->icsk_ca_ops->name without holding
rcu_read_lock(). Since commit 0baf26b0fcd7 ("bpf: tcp: Support
tcp_congestion_ops in bpf"), icsk_ca_ops can point to dynamically
allocated BPF struct_ops memory that may be freed concurrently via
setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION), leading to a use-after-free.
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _copy_to_user+0x37/0x60
Read of size 16 at addr ffff888013505260 by task exploit/149
_copy_to_user+0x37/0x60
do_tcp_getsockopt+0x158a/0x2460 (net/ipv4/tcp.c:4585)
tcp_getsockopt+0x91/0xf0
__sys_getsockopt+0xf7/0x170
Fix this by holding rcu_read_lock() around the ca_ops->name access,
using READ_ONCE() to load icsk_ca_ops, and copying the name to a
stack buffer before releasing the lock. Also annotate the relevant
icsk_ca_ops stores with WRITE_ONCE() to fix the accompanying KCSAN
data-race issue.
