CVE-2026-72447Source published Source updated
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: hold socket lock when dumping endpoints in sctp_diag SCTP_DIAG endpoint dumping was traversing endpoint address lists without holding lock_sock(), while those lists could change concurrently via socket operations (e.g., bindx changes). This creates a race where nla_reserve() counts addresses under RCU protection, but the subsequent copy may see fewer entries, potentially leaking uninitialized memory to userspace. Fix this by: - Taking a reference on each endpoint during hash traversal - Moving socket operations (lock_sock()) outside read_lock_bh() - Serializing address list access during dump - Reworking sctp_for_each_endpoint() to support restart-based traversal with (net, pos) tracking Also: - Add WARN_ON_ONCE()…
