CVE-2026-74696
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: fix TFO max_qlen accounting across reuseport migration
A listener's TCP_FASTOPEN max_qlen stops being accurate and lets through far more pending Fast Open requests than it was configured for.
This only shows up with SO_REUSEPORT listener migration, where closing a listener hands its still-pending TFO children over to a surviving one.
fastopenq.qlen is charged in tcp_fastopen_create_child() when the child is created and uncharged in reqsk_fastopen_remove() when the handshake completes.

The uncharge follows rsk_listener of the request the child points at, and inet_reqsk_clone() has repointed the child at a new request owned by the new listener, so the ++ and the -- land on two different sockets. The new listener's qlen drifts negative and its limit no longer binds.
Charge the new listener during migration, like reqsk_queue_migrated() already does for queue->young and queue->qlen.
