Overview

About vulnerability

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

net/handshake: restore destructor on submit failure

handshake_req_submit() replaces sk->sk_destruct but never restores it when submission fails before the request is hashed. handshake_sk_destruct() then returns early and the original destructor never runs, leaking the socket. Restore sk_destruct on the error path.

Details

Affected product:
AlmaLinux 9.2 ESU , TuxCare 9.6 ESU
Affected packages:
kernel @ 5.14.0 (+1 more)
