CVE-2025-39978

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

Description The Linux kernel contains a flaw in the otx2 tc add flow() function within the octeontx2-pf module. The issue involves a potential use-after-free condition where memory is freed using kfree rcu() and then dereferenced before the free operation is completed. This occurs due to the order of operations, specifically dereferencing a node after queuing it for free, potentially leading to instability or unexpected behavior.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
