CVE-2026-53033
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Take state lock for af_unix iter
When a BPF iterator program updates a sockmap, there is a race condition in unix_stream_bpf_update_proto() where the `peer` pointer can become stale[1] during a state transition TCP_ESTABLISHED -> TCP_CLOSE.
More practically, this fix guarantees that the iterator program is consistently provided with a unix socket that remains stable during iterator execution.
