Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Use After Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23372)
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the NFC raw socket (rawsock) component when handling socket teardown. A local user can trigger a race condition by terminating a process during active NFC transmission, leading to use-after-free or leaked references.
Exploitation requires an active NFC transmission and process interruption via signal such as SIGKILL.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
