In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: serialize kernel accept preallocation with socket teardown
rxrpc_kernel_charge_accept() reads rx->backlog without any
socket/backlog synchronization and passes that raw pointer into
rxrpc_service_prealloc_one(). A concurrent rxrpc_discard_prealloc()
sets rx->backlog = NULL and frees the backlog rings, so a kernel
preallocation worker can keep using a freed struct rxrpc_backlog
while updating *_backlog_head/tail and array slots.
Serialize the state check and backlog lookup with the socket lock,
and reject kernel preallocation once teardown has disabled
listening or discarded the service backlog.
