CVE-2026-97584

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

Description An issue exists in the afs lookup server() function where the system incorrectly attempts to free an existing server's endpoint state during the cleanup of a candidate server. Because the candidate record does not possess an endpoint state at that stage of the process, the operation is unnecessary and incorrect.

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