1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68127)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger a use-after-free.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in ila_update_ipv6_locator() and ila_csum_adjust_transport() when processing a crafted IPv6 packet routed through a configured ILA checksum-adjust-transport route or receive-side mapping. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted IPv6 packet to trigger a use-after-free.

Exploitation requires a configured ILA checksum-adjust-transport route or receive-side mapping.
