Description

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

tipc: restrict socket queue dumps in enqueue tracepoints

tipc_sk_enqueue() runs with sk->sk_lock.slock held while the socket is owned by user context. The spinlock protects the backlog queue in this path, but it does not serialize against the socket owner consuming or purging sk_receive_queue.

The TIPC_DUMP_ALL tracepoints in tipc_sk_enqueue() also dump sk_receive_queue and can therefore dereference skbs that the socket owner has already dequeued or freed. Restrict these dumps to TIPC_DUMP_SK_BKLGQ, which matches the queue protected by the held spinlock.

Keep the change limited to the enqueue path, where the unsafe queue dump is reachable while the socket is owned by user context.
