Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2026-53361
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A race condition exists in the `af unix` module where the `unix gc()` function could execute while the `gc in progress` variable is false. This occurs if garbage collection work is scheduled while a previous instance of the function is already running. This state can lead to issues in the `unix peek fpl()` function, which depends on the `gc in progress` flag to prevent `MSG PEEK` from interfering with the garbage collection process.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
