Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64025)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready in the Linux kernel BPF sockmap/skmsg handling when processing socket data with a TLS RX context present. A local user can trigger the race condition to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Exploitation requires a socket to be inserted into a sockmap before TLS RX is configured.
