Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-08-15 06:21 - Updated: 2026-08-18 07:16
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: check connect-related permissions on TCP Fast Open
Similar to Landlock, SELinux was not updated when TCP Fast Open
support was introduced to ensure connect-related permissions are
checked when using TCP Fast Open. Update its socket_sendmsg() hook to
call selinux_socket_connect() when MSG_FASTOPEN is passed.
