The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a use-after-free.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in kset_replay() when processing a key whose segment generation is stale. A local user can cause kset_replay() to process such a key to trigger a use-after-free.
Expired invalid keys can also result in operations on segment data that is no longer valid.
