[BUG] nfc: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in nfc_llcp_rx_skb

[Shuangpeng Bai]

Hi Kernel Maintainers,

I hit the following report while testing current upstream kernel:

KASAN: slab-use-after-free in nfc_llcp_rx_skb

on commit: 3609fa95fb0f2c1b099e69e56634edb8fc03f87c (2026-01-04)

The reproducer and .config files are here.

I'm happy to test debug patches or provide additional information.

Decoded source path:

use: net/nfc/llcp_core.c:1185 in nfc_llcp_recv_disc(), reading sk->sk_state
     after nfc_llcp_sock_put() at line 1182; DISC dispatch is called from
     net/nfc/llcp_core.c:1483 in nfc_llcp_rx_skb().
free: concurrent socket release drops the final reference through
      net/nfc/llcp_sock.c:646 sock_put(), then sk_free() releases the same
      struct nfc_llcp_sock allocation.
