Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64543)

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 tipc_disc_rcv() when processing TIPC discovery messages on a UDP bearer. A local user can trigger network namespace-accessible TIPC bearer operations and send crafted traffic to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation requires CONFIG_TIPC and CONFIG_TIPC_MEDIA_UDP. The affected functionality is reachable from an unprivileged user namespace because the TIPCv2 generic netlink family is netnsok and its bearer commands do not require GENL_ADMIN_PERM.
