RCU readers walking\nthe same list can still hold a pointer to the object after it has been\nremoved, leading to a slab-use-after-free.\n\nUse kfree_rcu(), matching the lifetime rule already used by\nphonet_address_del() for the same object type.","published":"2026-06-25T09:16:33.000Z","lastModified":"2026-07-07T18:54:29.000Z","status":"Analyzed","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-416"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00126,"percentile":0.02238,"date":"2026-10-26","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 (0.13%).
