CVE-2026-72299

tipc: restrict socket queue dumps in enqueue tracepoints

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tipc: restrict socket queue dumps in enqueue tracepoints

tipcskenqueue() runs with sk->sk_lock.slock held while the socket is

owned by user context. The spinlock protects the backlog queue in this

path, but it does not serialize against the socket owner consuming or

purging skreceivequeue.

KASAN reported:

    </TASK>

The TIPCDUMPALL tracepoints in tipcskenqueue() also dump

skreceivequeue and can therefore dereference skbs that the socket

owner has already dequeued or freed. Restrict these dumps to

TIPCDUMPSK_BKLGQ, which matches the queue protected by the held

spinlock.

Keep the change limited to the enqueue path, where the unsafe queue dump

is reachable while the socket is owned by user context.
