CVE-2026-80714

ipvs: do not propagate one-packet flag to synced conns

Published Aug 28, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.8 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipvs: do not propagate one-packet flag to synced conns

Synced connections can be created before their destination exists. When
the destination is later added, ip_vs_bind_dest() copies connection flags
from the destination into cp->flags.

IP_VS_CONN_F_ONE_PACKET connections are not synced. If a synced
connection inherits IP_VS_CONN_F_ONE_PACKET while it is already hashed,
expiry can treat it as a one-packet connection and skip unlinking the
existing conn_tab node, leaving stale hash nodes pointing at a freed
struct ip_vs_conn.

Drop IP_VS_CONN_F_ONE_PACKET from destination flags when binding synced
connections.
