CVE-2026-99270NVD

Vulnerability Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tcp: Fix potential UAF in reqsk_timer_handler().

When TCP socket migration fails at inet_ehash_insert() in
reqsk_timer_handler(), we jump to the no_ownership: label
and free the new reqsk immediately with __reqsk_free().

Thus, we must stop the new reqsk's timer before jumping to the
label, but the timer might be missed since the cited commit,
resulting in UAF.

As we are in the original reqsk's timer context, we can safely
call timer_delete_sync() for the new reqsk.

Let's pass false to __inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() to stop
the new reqsk's timer.
