In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: tcp_make_synack() can be called from process context tcp_rtx_synack() now could be called in process context as explained in 0a375c822497 ("tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process context"). tcp_rtx_synack() might call tcp_make_synack(), which will touch per-CPU variables with preemption enabled. This causes the following BUG: BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: ThriftIO1/5464 caller is tcp_make_synack+0x841/0xac0 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x10d/0x1a0 check_preemption_disabled+0x104/0x110 tcp_make_synack+0x841/0xac0 tcp_v6_send_synack+0x5c/0x450 tcp_rtx_synack+0xeb/0x1f0 inet_rtx_syn_ack+0x34/0x60 tcp_check_req+0x3af/0x9e0 tcp_rcv_state_process+0x59b/0x2030 tcp_v6_do_rcv+0x5f5/0x700 release_sock+0x3a/0xf0 tcp_sendmsg+0x33/0x40 ____sys_sendmsg+0x2f2/0x490 __sys_sendmsg+0x184/0x230 do_syscall_64+0x3d/0x90 Avoid calling __TCP_INC_STATS() with will touch per-cpu variables.

This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.5, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from linux organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2025, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For linux's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
