CVE-2026-98300
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Don't call skb_clone_and_charge_r() for close()d listener in tcp_v6_do_rcv().
tcp_v6_do_rcv() no longer calls skb_clone_and_charge_r() for TCP_LISTEN since commit 073d89808c06 ("net: fix data-races around sk->sk_forward_alloc").
However, there is still a small race window between tcp_v6_rcv() and tcp_v6_do_rcv(), where concurrent close() changes TCP_LISTEN to TCP_CLOSE, causing skb_clone_and_charge_r() to be called locklessly and resulting in the splat below. [0]
Let's avoid calling skb_clone_and_charge_r() for TCP_CLOSE as well.

This is fine for non-listeners because tcp_rcv_state_process() drops skb for TCP_CLOSE and opt_skb was freed immediately anyway.
