**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A use-after-free issue exists in the Linux kernel BPF reuseport program handling. When a UDP reuseport group uses a cBPF program and that program is replaced or detached via the `setsockopt()` path (specifically through `reuseport attach prog()` or `reuseport detach prog()`), the function `sk reuseport prog free()` is called. Because cBPF programs are freed immediately by `bpf release orig filter()` and `bpf prog free()` without waiting for RCU (Read-Copy-Update) readers to complete, a race condition occurs if another thread is simultaneously sending a UDP packet to the group. This can lead to a vmalloc-out-of-bounds read in the `reuseport select sock()` function.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
