CVE-2026-53070
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: disable BH before calling udp_tunnel_xmit_skb()
udp_tunnel_xmit_skb() / udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb() are expected to run with BH disabled. After commit 6f1a9140ecda ("add xmit recursion limit to tunnel xmit functions"), on the path:
dev_xmit_recursion_inc()/dec() must stay balanced on the same CPU.
Without local_bh_disable(), the context may move between CPUs, which can break the inc/dec pairing. This may lead to incorrect recursion level detection and cause packets to be dropped in ip(6)_tunnel_xmit() or __dev_queue_xmit().
Fix it by disabling BH around both IPv4 and IPv6 SCTP UDP xmit paths.
