CVE-2026-72234

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

Description A use-after-free issue exists in the batman-adv module. The pskb may pull() function called by batadv get vid() can reallocate the buffer behind the socket buffer (skb).

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