CVE-2025-21683 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix bpf_sk_select_reuseport() memory leak

As pointed out in the original comment lookup in sockmap can return a TCP ESTABLISHED socket. Such TCP socket may have had SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_EBPF set before it was ESTABLISHED. In other words a non-NULL sk_reuseport_cb does not imply a non-refcounted socket.

Drop sk’s reference in both error paths.
