Improper Input Validation Affecting kernel-rt-modules-extra package, versions *
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: add sanity tests to TCP_QUEUE_SEQ
Qingyu Li reported a syzkaller bug where the repro changes RCV SEQ after restoring data in the receive queue.
mprotect(0x4aa000, 12288, PROT_READ) = 0 mmap(0x1ffff000, 4096, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x1ffff000 mmap(0x20000000, 16777216, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x20000000 mmap(0x21000000, 4096, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x21000000 socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3 setsockopt(3, SOL_TCP, TCP_REPAIR, [1], 4) = 0 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(0), sin6_flowinfo=htonl(0), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::1", &sin6_addr), sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = 0 setsockopt(3, SOL_TCP, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, [1], 4) = 0 sendmsg(3, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="0x0000000000000003\0\0", iov_len=20}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 20 setsockopt(3, SOL_TCP, TCP_REPAIR, [0], 4) = 0 setsockopt(3, SOL_TCP, TCP_QUEUE_SEQ, [128], 4) = 0 recvfrom(3, NULL, 20, 0, NULL, NULL) = -1 ECONNRESET (Connection reset by peer)

This should not be allowed. TCP_QUEUE_SEQ should only be used when queues are empty.
This patch fixes this case, and the tx path as well.
