Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52982)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in rtl8150_start_xmit() when submitting a USB transmit URB and updating transmit statistics. A local user can trigger concurrent URB completion to cause a denial of service.

The issue is caused by reading skb->len after usb_submit_urb() returns, while the skb may already have been freed by the completion path on another CPU in softirq context.
