In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8192u: Fix use after free in ieee80211_rx() We cannot dereference the "skb" pointer after calling ieee80211_monitor_rx(), because it is a use after free.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.42%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
