In that case, nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue()\nsets queue->state to NVMET_TCP_Q_DISCONNECTING and drops the queue\nreference under state_lock.\n\nIf io_work later processes that ICReq, nvmet_tcp_handle_icreq() can\nstill overwrite the state back to NVMET_TCP_Q_LIVE. That defeats the\nDISCONNECTING-state guard in nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue() and\nallows a later socket state change to re-enter teardown and issue a\nsecond kref_put() on an already released queue.\n\nThe ICResp send failure path has the same problem. If teardown has\nalready moved the queue to DISCONNECTING, a send error can still\noverwrite the state with NVMET_TCP_Q_FAILED, again reopening the\nwindow for a second teardown path to drop the queue reference.\n\nFix this by serializing both post-send state transitions with\nstate_lock and bailing out if teardown has already started.\n\nUse -ESHUTDOWN as an internal sentinel for that bail-out path rather\nthan propagating it as a transport error like -ECONNRESET. Keep\nnvmet_tcp_socket_error() setting rcv_state to NVMET_TCP_RECV_ERR before\nhonoring that sentinel so receive-side parsing stays quiesced until the\nexisting release path completes.","affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"872d26a391da92ed8f0c0f5cb5fef428067b7f30"},{"fixed":"b7dd4d27aa70bd98bb10572310e913668baf6a65"},{"fixed":"9c63cf80895a70eb4fcfcaa725bb1ac9ae76f02b"},{"fixed":"6f96dea4819d122737b217ea16660d255abbf8c6"},{"fixed":"5f0b95ef68ab9afba75b20eebf436130f80c161a"},{"fixed":"49891c8fe0cb43fbbe480da1cdccfbbaeb820cb3"},{"fixed":"67e1aaf93b495c2f10bc8a5fbba575fbb7f449b6"},{"fixed":"dcfe4d1f7960e7d1c01642318f3aae1a604f8508"},{"fixed":"5293a8882c549fab4a878bc76b0b6c951f980a61"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-46135.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.0.0"},{"fixed":"5.10.261"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.11.0"},{"fixed":"5.15.212"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.16.0"},{"fixed":"6.1.178"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.2.0"},{"fixed":"6.6.144"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.7.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.88"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.13.0"},{"fixed":"6.18.30"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.19.0"},{"fixed":"7.0.7"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-46135.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/49891c8fe0cb43fbbe480da1cdccfbbaeb820cb3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5293a8882c549fab4a878bc76b0b6c951f980a61"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5f0b95ef68ab9afba75b20eebf436130f80c161a"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/67e1aaf93b495c2f10bc8a5fbba575fbb7f449b6"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6f96dea4819d122737b217ea16660d255abbf8c6"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9c63cf80895a70eb4fcfcaa725bb1ac9ae76f02b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b7dd4d27aa70bd98bb10572310e913668baf6a65"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dcfe4d1f7960e7d1c01642318f3aae1a604f8508"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/46xxx/CVE-2026-46135.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-46135"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/46xxx/CVE-2026-46135.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
