Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, skmsg: fix verdict sk_data_ready racing with ktls rx

sk_psock_strp_data_ready() already checks tls_sw_has_ctx_rx() and

defers to psock->saved_data_ready when a TLS RX context is present,

avoiding a conflict with the TLS strparser's ownership of the receive

queue (commit e91de6afa81c, "bpf: Fix running sk_skb program types

with ktls").

sk_psock_verdict_data_ready() has no equivalent guard. When a socket

is inserted into a sockmap (BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT) before TLS RX is

configured, tls_sw_strparser_arm() saves sk_psock_verdict_data_ready

as rx_ctx->saved_data_ready. On data arrival:

tls_data_ready -> tls_strp_data_ready -> tls_rx_msg_ready

-> saved_data_ready() = sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()

-> tcp_read_skb() drains sk_receive_queue via __skb_unlink()

without calling tcp_eat_skb(), so copied_seq is not advanced.

tls_strp_msg_load() then finds tcp_inq() >= full_len (stale), calls

tcp_recv_s

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-64025?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-64025 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
