This would lead to double frees, use after free, and please hackers and various fuzzers Tested: 0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 +0 setsockopt(3, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_SAVE_SYN, [1], 4) = 0 +0 fcntl(3, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0 +0 listen(3, 5) = 0 +0 < S 0:0(0) win 32972 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 7> +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <...> +.1 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4 +0 connect(4, AF_UNSPEC, ...) = 0 +0 close(3) = 0 +0 bind(4, ..., ...) = 0 +0 listen(4, 5) = 0 +0 < S 0:0(0) win 32972 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 7> +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <...> +.1 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 Fixes: cd8ae85299d5 ("tcp: provide SYN headers for passive connections") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
