CVE-2026-53006

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

Description A Use-After-Free (UAF) error exists in the IPv6 implementation of the Linux kernel. This issue occurs within the icmpv6 rcv() function due to the incorrect caching of source and destination addresses (saddr and daddr) before a pskb pull() operation, which can cause the memory address of the socket buffer head (skb->head) to change. This memory corruption may result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution.

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