CVE-2026-99246
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: protect node reset trace dump with node lock
The tipc_node_reset_links trace event asks tipc_node_dump() to walk the node's link entries. Unlike the other node events that request link data, this event runs without the node lock.
This permits bearer teardown to free a link while the trace callback is dumping it:
CPU 0 CPU 1 trace_tipc_node_reset_links() tipc_node_dump() l = n->links[0].link tipc_node_write_lock() kfree(l) n->links[0].link = NULL tipc_node_write_unlock() tipc_link_dump(l)
tipc_link_dump() then dereferences the stale pointer. KASAN reported:

Take the node write lock around the trace event. This serializes the dump against tipc_node_link_down(delete=true), which frees the link under the same write lock.
