This unearthed a bug in TLS where we may tryto operate on an old skb when checking if all skbs in thequeue have matching decrypt state and geometry. BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in tls_strp_check_rcv+0x898/0x9a0 [tls] (net/tls/tls_strp.c:436 net/tls/tls_strp.c:530 net/tls/tls_strp.c:544) Read of size 4 at addr ffff888013085750 by task tls/13529 CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 13529 Comm: tls Not tainted 6.16.0-rc5-virtme Call Trace: kasan_report+0xca/0x100 tls_strp_check_rcv+0x898/0x9a0 [tls] tls_rx_rec_wait+0x2c9/0x8d0 [tls] tls_sw_recvmsg+0x40f/0x1aa0 [tls] inet_recvmsg+0x1c3/0x1f0Always reload the queue, fast path is to have the record in the queuewhen we wake, anyway (IOW the path going down "if !strp->stm.full_len"). ### POC #### Reference No PoCs from references. #### Github - https://github.com/w4zu/Debian_security
