Jul 30 RESCORED — CVE-2025-37894 (Linux). CVSS 9.8 → 5.5 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: use sock_gen_put() when sk_state is TCP_TIME_WAIT
It is possible for a pointer of type struct inet_timewait_sock to be
returned from the functions __inet_lookup_established() and
__inet6_lookup_established(). This can cause a crash when the
returned pointer is of type struct inet_timewait_sock and
sock_put() is called on it. The following is a crash call stack that
shows sk->sk_wmem_alloc being accessed in sk_free() during the call to
sock_put() on a struct inet_timewait_sock pointer. To avoid this issue,
use sock_gen_put() instead of sock_put() when sk->sk_state
is TCP_TIME_WAIT.
