Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description A use-after-free issue exists in the pep get sb() function. The problem occurs because pep get sb() does not account for the possibility that pskb may pull() might relocate the socket buffer (skb) data. Consequently, the function continues to access a stale pointer, leading to a use-after-free condition. This was identified using KASAN (Kernel Address Sanitizer), a dynamic memory error detector for the kernel.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
