CVE-2026-80738
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Check sk_state before sk_protocol in bpf_tcp_*_syncookie

bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie and bpf_tcp_check_syncookie accept a socket pointer
'sk' with argument type ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_SOCK_COMMON. However, they access
sk->sk_protocol without validating whether 'sk' represents a full socket.

Fix this issue by checking sk->sk_state != TCP_LISTEN before inspecting
sk->sk_protocol in both bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie and bpf_tcp_check_syncookie.
Since mini-sockets are never in the TCP_LISTEN state, the condition
short-circuits and prevents dereferencing fullsock-specific fields.
