How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-64k-modules-extra.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-modules-extra package and not the kernel-64k-modules-extra package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

tcp: take care of mixed splice()/sendmsg(MSG_ZEROCOPY) case

syzbot found that mixing sendpage() and sendmsg(MSG_ZEROCOPY) calls over the same TCP socket would again trigger the infamous warning in inet_sock_destruct()

WARN_ON(sk_forward_alloc_get(sk));

While Talal took into account a mix of regular copied data and MSG_ZEROCOPY one in the same skb, the sendpage() path has been forgotten.

We want the charging to happen for sendpage(), because pages could be coming from a pipe. What is missing is the downgrading of pure zerocopy status to make sure sk_forward_alloc will stay synced.

Add tcp_downgrade_zcopy_pure() helper so that we can use it from the two callers.
