In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: serialize kernel accept preallocation with socket teardown rxrpc_kernel_charge_accept() reads rx->backlog without any socket/backlog synchronization and passes that raw pointer into rxrpc_service_prealloc_one(). A concurrent rxrpc_discard_prealloc() sets rx->backlog = NULL and frees the backlog rings, so a kernel preallocation worker can keep using a freed struct rxrpc_backlog while updating *_backlog_head/tail and array slots. Serialize the state check and backlog lookup with the socket lock, and reject kernel preallocation once teardown has disabled listening or discarded the service backlog.
