CVE-2026-74589: bpf, sockmap: Fix sk_redir use-after-free in send verdict

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

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

bpf, sockmap: Fix sk_redir use-after-free in send verdict

sk_psock_msg_verdict() takes a socket reference for psock->sk_redir.
tcp_bpf_send_verdict() copies that pointer while holding the source socket
lock, but does not take a reference for the local copy before dropping the
lock around tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir().

When apply_bytes keeps the cached verdict active, another sendmsg() on the
same source socket can consume the remaining bytes and release the cached
reference while the first thread still holds only the raw local pointer:

  CPU 0                                  CPU 1
  sk_redir = psock->sk_redir
  apply_bytes remains nonzero
  release_sock(sk)
                                         lock_sock(sk)
                                         apply_bytes reaches zero
                                         psock->sk_redir = NULL
                                         release_sock(sk)
                                         tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir(sk_redir)
                                         sock_put(sk_redir)
  tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir(sk_redir)

The final sock_put() can free sk_redir before CPU 0 dereferences it.

Take a temporary socket reference while the source socket lock still
protects psock->sk_redir, and drop it after tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir()
returns.  This keeps each unlocked use independent of cached-verdict
ownership.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74589 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:
