The bug is reached only via local sendto/sendmsg on a TCP socket enrolled in a BPF sockmap/sockhash with an SK_MSG redirect program (tcp_bpf_sendmsg \u2192 tcp_bpf_send_verdict); SK_MSG processes locally sent data, not remote peer packets.\nAC:L - The attacker controls the SK_MSG apply_bytes/redirect policy and the send size that forces the more_data loop, so the extra sock_put and resulting socket UAF are deterministic with no race or uncontrolled layout.\nPR:L - Sockmap/SK_MSG setup needs CAP_NET_ADMIN/CAP_BPF, but those are routinely held by networking containers and delegated via BPF tokens; once a sockmap redirect path exists (e.g. service-mesh/sockops), an ordinary unprivileged send on an enrolled socket triggers the bug.\nUI:N - The attacker performs map/program setup (or relies on an existing deployment) and the triggering sendmsg themselves; no victim action is required.\nS:U - The socket refcount underflow and use-after-free remain inside the host kernel's security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Repeated sock_put() underflows the redirect socket's refcount and frees struct sock while it is still used, enabling heap reuse of the freed socket and arbitrary kernel memory disclosure per UAF guidance.\nI:H - A use-after-free on struct sock (sk_prot, callbacks, sk_redir) is heap-sprayable into write and control-flow hijack primitives, matching High integrity impact for UAF memory corruption.\nA:H - The bug produces refcount_t use-after-free warnings and kernel oops/panic on the freed socket path, and any UAF is scored High availability even when not fully weaponized."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/ipv4/tcp_bpf.c"], "versions": [{"version": "5f0bfe21c853917aae4bc5a70fe57ddb4054443e", "lessThan": "7508b9f4daac4ec7dfe0b6fb2d688b1c1c105e10", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "15dec6d8f8642a26d6a272af2d7f9877df8f02b8", "lessThan": "28e4a763cd4a2b1a78852216ef4bd7df3a05cec6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "cd9733f5d75c94a32544d6ce5be47e14194cf137", "lessThan": "8786bde11a4f31b63b3036731df0b47337a7a245", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "cd9733f5d75c94a32544d6ce5be47e14194cf137", "lessThan": "578a7628b838a3ac8ad61deaab5a816ff032ac13", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "cd9733f5d75c94a32544d6ce5be47e14194cf137", "lessThan": "113236e8f49f262f318c00ebb14b15f4834e87c1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "cd9733f5d75c94a32544d6ce5be47e14194cf137", "lessThan": "7a9841ca025275b5b0edfb0b618934abb6ceec15", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "6f226ffe4458ea3b8c33287cb8c86f87dc198dce", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "5.4.157", "lessThan": "5.4.229", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.10.77", "lessThan": "5.10.163", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.14.16", "lessThan": "5.15", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["net/ipv4/tcp_bpf.c"], "versions": [{"version": "5.15", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "5.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.4.229", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.10.163", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.86", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.0.16", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.0.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.4.157", "versionEndExcluding": "5.4.229"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10.77", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.163"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.86"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.0.16"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.2"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.2"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.14.16"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7508b9f4daac4ec7dfe0b6fb2d688b1c1c105e10"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/28e4a763cd4a2b1a78852216ef4bd7df3a05cec6"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8786bde11a4f31b63b3036731df0b47337a7a245"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/578a7628b838a3ac8ad61deaab5a816ff032ac13"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/113236e8f49f262f318c00ebb14b15f4834e87c1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7a9841ca025275b5b0edfb0b618934abb6ceec15"}], "title": "bpf, sockmap: Fix repeated calls to sock_put() when msg has more_data", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
