From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: Fix out-of-bounds access for twsk in tcp_ao_established_key(). lockdep_sock_is_held() was added in tcp_ao_established_key() by the cited commit. It can be called from tcp_v[46]_timewait_ack() with twsk. Since it does not have sk->sk_lock, the lockdep annotation results in out-of-bound access. $ pahole -C tcp_timewait_sock vmlinux | grep size /* size: 288, cachelines: 5, members: 8 */ $ pahole -C sock vmlinux | grep sk_lock socket_lock_t sk_lock; /* 440 192 */ Let's not use lockdep_sock_is_held() for TCP_TIME_WAIT. The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64518 to this issue. Affected and fixed versions =========================== Issue introduced in 6.12.5 with commit 051f49d5176613dea88ecf73a101c3a99f4720e9 and fixed in 6.12.92 with commit 87bb3e719042f0030a6dad39118c6a6b2a491ad9 Issue introduced in 6.13 with commit 6b2d11e2d8fc130df4708be0b6b53fd3e6b54cf6 and fixed in 6.18.34 with commit 510db031ba6eb40134f84c90ef963ea4b6dfb878 Issue introduced in 6.13 with commit 6b2d11e2d8fc130df4708be0b6b53fd3e6b54cf6 and fixed in 7.0.11 with commit 29cf64d128c94cf98d1c69d8b2962d39db5ff4c6 Issue introduced in 6.13 with commit 6b2d11e2d8fc130df4708be0b6b53fd3e6b54cf6 and fixed in 7.1 with commit 03cb001ef87b3f8d859cf7f96329acf3d6235d29 Please see https://www.kernel.org for a full list of currently supported kernel versions by the kernel community. Unaffected versions might change over time as fixes are backported to older supported kernel versions. The official CVE entry at https://cve.org/CVERecord/?id=CVE-2026-64518 will be updated if fixes are backported, please check that for the most up to date information about this issue. Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: net/ipv4/tcp_ao.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/87bb3e719042f0030a6dad39118c6a6b2a491ad9 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/510db031ba6eb40134f84c90ef963ea4b6dfb878 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/29cf64d128c94cf98d1c69d8b2962d39db5ff4c6 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/03cb001ef87b3f8d859cf7f96329acf3d6235d29
