Title
tcp: fix potential race in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: fix potential race in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() Code in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() after the call to tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() is done too late. After tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock(), the child socket is already visible from TCP ehash table and other cpus might use it. Since newinet->pinet6 is still pointing to the listener ipv6_pinfo bad things can happen as syzbot found. Move the problematic code in tcp_v6_mapped_child_init() and call this new helper from tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() before the ehash insertion. This allows the removal of one tcp_sync_mss(), since tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() will call it with the correct context.

The vulnerable path is in the packet receive and TCP handshake path before any application authentication.\nAC:L - The race can be exercised by driving many concurrent TCP handshakes and follow-up packets against the same listener, so the attacker controls the relevant network-side timing. Under the required conservative rule, this is Low complexity.\nPR:N - No local account, capability, or prior authentication is required to send TCP connection attempts to an exposed listening service. The vulnerable kernel code runs before the connection is handed to userspace.\nUI:N - No victim user action is needed beyond the target system already running a reachable dual-stack TCP listener. Packets alone trigger the vulnerable path.\nS:U - The impact remains within the target kernel and its networking state. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority boundary change.\nC:H - The bug leaves a newly created child socket temporarily using the listener\u0027s IPv6 private pointer, allowing concurrent reads of the wrong kernel socket private area and associated pointer-bearing state. Conservatively, this kernel memory corruption/race is treated as capable of high confidentiality impact.\nI:H - Operations on the child can write through the stale pinet6 pointer into the listener\u0027s IPv6 state, and related cleanup paths can affect pointer-backed socket options. Conservatively, this is high integrity impact because kernel socket state can be corrupted.\nA:H - Corrupting or freeing the wrong socket IPv6 state can lead to kernel warnings, oopses, or crashes. The trigger can be repeated remotely with connection floods, so availability impact is High."
