If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e97767f81ce70f2fd92c93c175016a5e3855d062 Author: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Nov 23 09:42:36 2024 -0800 tcp: Fix use-after-free of nreq in reqsk_timer_handler(). [ Upstream commit c31e72d021db2714df03df6c42855a1db592716c ] The cited commit replaced inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop_and_put() with __inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() and reqsk_put() in reqsk_timer_handler(). Then, oreq should be passed to reqsk_put() instead of req; otherwise use-after-free of nreq could happen when reqsk is migrated but the retry attempt failed (e.g. due to timeout). Let's pass oreq to reqsk_put(). Fixes: e8c526f2bdf1 ("tcp/dccp: Don't use timer_pending() in reqsk_queue_unlink().")
