Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74714)

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 bpf_iter_tcp_established_batch() when iterating over established TCP sockets. A local user can trigger concurrent socket activity and read an iter/tcp link to cause a denial of service.

This issue can occur when request_sock objects are visible in the ehash chain before their reference count is initialized, leading to a stale reachable socket being freed prematurely.
