  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ovpn: tcp - use cached peer pointer in ovpn_tcp_close()  ovpn_tcp_close() loads the ovpn_socket via rcu_dereference_sk_user_data() under rcu_read_lock(), takes a reference on sock-\u003Epeer, caches the peer pointer in a local, and drops the read lock. It then passes sock-\u003Epeer (rather than the cached local) to ovpn_peer_del(), re-dereferencing the ovpn_socket after the RCU read section has ended.  Unlike ovpn_tcp_sendmsg(), which uses the same \u0022load under RCU, use after unlock\u0022 pattern but is protected by lock_sock() held across the function, ovpn_tcp_close() runs without the socket lock: inet_release() invokes sk_prot-\u003Eclose() without taking lock_sock first.  ovpn_socket_release() can therefore complete its kref_put -\u003E detach -\u003E synchronize_rcu -\u003E kfree(sock) sequence concurrently, in the window after ovpn_tcp_close() drops rcu_read_lock() but before it dereferences sock-\u003Epeer. The synchronize_rcu() in ovpn_socket_release() protects readers that use the dereferenced pointer inside the RCU read section, not those that escape the pointer to a local and use it afterwards.  A reproducer follows the pattern of commit 94560267d6c4 (\u0022ovpn: tcp - don\u0027t deref NULL sk_socket member after tcp_close()\u0022): trigger a peer removal (keepalive expiration or netlink OVPN_CMD_DEL_PEER) at the same moment userspace closes the TCP fd. That commit fixed the detach-side of the same race window; this one fixes the close-side at a different victim.  Tighten the entry block to read sock-\u003Epeer exactly once into the cached peer local, and route all subsequent uses (the hold check, the ovpn_peer_del() call, and the prot-\u003Eclose() invocation) through that local. sock-\u003Epeer is only ever written once in ovpn_socket_new() under lock_sock(), before rcu_assign_sk_user_data() publishes the ovpn_socket, and is never reassigned afterwards - but the previous multi-read pattern made that invariant implicit rather than explicit. The same multi-read shape exists in ovpn_tcp_recvmsg(), ovpn_tcp_sendmsg(), ovpn_tcp_data_ready() and ovpn_tcp_write_space(); those will be cleaned up via a dedicated helper in a follow-up net-next series.",
