Last modified
CVE-2026-68379 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: fix TIME_WAIT socket reference leak on PSP policy failure Release the TIME_WAIT socket reference and jump to discard_it upon PSP policy failure in both IPv4 and IPv6 receive paths. This prevents a memory leak of tcp_tw_bucket structures.. EPSS estimates a 0.61% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
