Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64188)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in rmnet_dellink() and the rmnet endpoint handling in the Qualcomm rmnet driver when processing network packets on the receive path while an endpoint is being removed. A local user can trigger concurrent packet processing and endpoint deletion to cause a denial of service.
The stale read occurs when lockless RCU readers dereference the egress_dev pointer after the endpoint memory has been freed.
Remediation
