CVE-2025-40176

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:tls: wait for pending async decryptions if tls_strp_msg_hold failsAsync decryption calls tls_strp_msg_hold to create a clone of theinput skb to hold references to the memory it uses. If we fail toallocate that clone, proceeding with async decryption can lead tovarious issues (UAF on the skb, writing into userspace memory afterthe recv() call has returned).In this case, wait for all pending decryption requests.
