CVE-2026-68161

CriticalCVSS 9.8/10Last modified Oct 19, 2026

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: close UDP tunnel sockets during netns teardown

proc_sctp_do_udp_port() starts per-net SCTP UDP tunneling sockets when net.sctp.udp_port is set, and stops/restarts them when the sysctl value changes. The netns exit path does not stop these sockets, so a namespace can be torn down while its SCTP UDP tunnel sockets are still installed.

Close the UDP tunnel sockets from sctp_ctrlsock_exit() after unregistering the per-net sysctl table. This prevents new sysctl writes from racing in while the sockets are being released, and closes the sockets before the control socket is destroyed.
