CVE-2026-5590

MEDIUM CVSS: 6.4 Published: 2026-04-05 Modified: 2026-07-24

Description

A race condition during TCP connection teardown can cause tcp_recv() to operate on a connection that has already been released. If tcp_conn_search() returns NULL while processing a SYN packet, a NULL pointer derived from stale context data is passed to tcp_backlog_is_full() and dereferenced without validation, leading to a crash.
