1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64027)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the net_shaper subsystem when handling concurrent shaper lookups and updates. A local user can trigger a race condition to cause a denial of service.
The issue stems from non-atomic validity marking of XArray entries, which can allow a reader to observe a stale valid state for a replaced entry.
