Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description A double free issue exists in the rtase start xmit() function. When the head buffer DMA mapping fails after rtase xmit frags() has mapped all fragments, the error path utilizes rtase tx clear range() to clear fragment descriptors, which frees the socket buffer (skb) and increments the tx dropped counter. Subsequently, the execution flow reaches a common error label that frees the same skb a second time and increments the counter again.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
