Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74563)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in rds_tcp_laddr_check() and ipv6 address checking when processing a bind request with a scoped IPv6 interface. A local user can trigger a concurrent device removal condition and issue a bind operation to disclose sensitive information.

The issue is caused by dereferencing a stale net_device pointer after the RCU read-side lock is released.
