Therefore, if nr_neigh->ax25 is NULL,\nthe caller function will free old_skb again, causing a double-free bug.\n\nTherefore, to prevent this, we need to modify it to check whether\nnr_neigh->ax25 is NULL before freeing old_skb.","published":"2026-02-04T17:16:21.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T10:20:53.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-415"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00198,"percentile":0.0949,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.20%).
