CRITICAL Linux CVE published 2026-08-15

CVE-2026-72299

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the TIPC (Transparent Inter-Process Communication) subsystem. The issue arises from the `tipc_sk_enqueue` function, which holds a spinlock that protects the backlog queue but does not serialize against the socket owner consuming or purging `sk_receive_queue`. This can lead to a race condition where the `TIPC_DUMP_ALL` tracepoints in `tipc_sk_enqueue` may dump `sk_re [truncated]
