Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] connector/cn_proc: fix listener count and socket state cleanup
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 08:09:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102130922.75629-1-cenzhang@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
Two independent bugs in the process events connector, both reachable
by an unprivileged user:
1. proc_event_num_listeners can go negative because cn_proc_mcast_ctl()
does not validate mcast_op before storing it as socket state. All
process events are then suppressed for every subscriber.
2. sk_user_data leaks and the listener count stays too high because
cn_release() frees the state only for multicast group members and
never drops the count.
Both were found and fixed with the assistance of an LLM-based code
analysis tool and verified by the author.

connector/cn_proc: reject invalid mcast_op before touching socket
state
connector/cn_proc: release socket state and listener count on close
