{"id":"AZL-93725","summary":"CVE-2026-64523 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/handshake: Take a long-lived file reference at submit\n\nhandshake_nl_accept_doit() needs the file pointer backing\nreq-\u003ehr_sk-\u003esk_socket to survive the window between\nhandshake_req_next() and the subsequent FD_PREPARE() and get_file().\nThe submit-side sock_hold() does not provide that.  sk_refcnt keeps\nstruct sock alive, but struct socket is owned by sock-\u003efile: when\nthe consumer fputs the last file reference, sock_release() tears\nthe socket down regardless of any sock_hold.\n\nAdd an hr_file pointer to struct handshake_req and acquire an\nexplicit reference on sock-\u003efile during handshake_req_submit().\nhandshake_complete() and handshake_req_cancel() release the\nreference on the completion-bit-winning path.\n\nThe submit error path must also release the file reference, but\nafter rhashtable insertion a concurrent handshake_req_cancel() can\ndiscover the request and race the error path.  Gate the error-path\ncleanup -- sk_destruct restoration, fput, and request destruction\n-- with test_and_set_bit(HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED), the same\nserialization handshake_complete() and handshake_req_cancel()\nalready use.  When cancel has already claimed ownership, the submit\nerror path returns without touching the request; socket teardown\nhandles final destruction.\n\nThe accept-side dereferences are not yet retargeted; that change\ncomes in the next patch.","modified":"2026-08-29T05:27:27Z","published":"2026-07-25T10:17:38Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-64523"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-64523"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-93725.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
