If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7861d807c7bd847121a26b55cb66c30b62b3b718 Author: Phil Sutter <phil@xxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 5 21:58:12 2023 +0100 netfilter: xt_owner: Fix for unsafe access of sk->sk_socket [ Upstream commit 7ae836a3d630e146b732fe8ef7d86b243748751f ] A concurrently running sock_orphan() may NULL the sk_socket pointer in between check and deref. Follow other users (like nft_meta.c for instance) and acquire sk_callback_lock before dereferencing sk_socket.
