Technical Description

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

tipc: restrict socket queue dumps in enqueue tracepoints

tipc_sk_enqueue() runs with sk->sk_lock.slock held while the socket is

owned by user context. The spinlock protects the backlog queue in this

path, but it does not serialize against the socket owner consuming or

purging sk_receive_queue.
