Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux Kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A critical issue has been found in the Linux Kernel, affecting the function tst timer of the file drivers/atm/idt77252.c of the component IPsec. The manipulation leads to use after free, which can be exploited due to a race condition. This may allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.
