CVE-2026-80521 — af_unix: Unlink scc_entry in unix_del_edge().

Affected: Linux

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

af_unix: Unlink scc_entry in unix_del_edge().

Kyle Zeng reported that GC could free a dead SCC partially.

The scenario is as follows:

1) Create two SCCs:

X -. A <-> B ^--'

2) Run the following concurrently:

2-1) send() sk-B to sk-B from sk-X 2-2) close() both A and B

At 2-1), there is a small window where unix_add_edges() publishes a new edge (B <-> B) to GC but its skb is not queued by skb_queue_tail().

If 2-2) completes before skb_queue_tail() and GC is triggered, it judges A <-> B as dead, but B is not freed because GC cannot collect the not-yet-queued skb holding the B <-> B edge.

X -. A <-> B -. This edge is visible ^--' ^..' but skb is not

This itself is not a problem since the next GC run will judge B as dead as well and free it finally.

X -. A <.> B -. ^--' ^--'

However, X's SCC forces the next GC to call unix_walk_scc_fast(), and it iterates over A through B's scc_entry.

Let's unlink scc_entry before freeing the vertex in unix_del_edge().
