The sockets were already freed by the first\nbpf_iter_tcp_put_batch(), so nothing leaks, and a later read() rescans\nthe bucket from the start instead of skipping it. The sibling\nGFP_NOWAIT failure path still holds real socket references and is left\nfor stop() to release.\n\n  BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in __sock_gen_cookie\n  Read of size 8 at addr 0000000000000059 by task exploit\n   ...\n   __sock_gen_cookie (net/core/sock_diag.c:28)\n   bpf_iter_tcp_put_batch (net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:2918)\n   bpf_iter_tcp_seq_stop (net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:3270)\n   bpf_seq_read (kernel/bpf/bpf_iter.c:205)\n   vfs_read (fs/read_write.c:572)\n   ksys_read (fs/read_write.c:716)\n   do_syscall_64\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe\n  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":43,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":42.9,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
