CVE-2026-74490: tipc: avoid use-after-free in poll trace queue dumps

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

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

tipc: avoid use-after-free in poll trace queue dumps

TIPC socket tracepoints dump queue state through tipc_sk_dump(). Most
queue-dump callsites already serialize that walk under the socket lock or
sk->sk_lock.slock, but tipc_poll() calls trace_tipc_sk_poll(...,
TIPC_DUMP_ALL, ...) without holding either lock.

That lets the poll trace path reach tipc_list_dump() and backlog head/tail
dumping while another context dequeues and frees an skb, leaving the trace
helper dereferencing a stale queue entry.

Stop the unlocked poll trace site from requesting queue dumps. Other queue
dump trace callsites keep their existing output under the locking they
already provide, while poll still emits the event itself without walking
live queue members from an unlocked context.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74490 to this issue.

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:
