Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90319)

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 a use-after-free in the RapidIO rio_scan_alloc_net() failure path when handling a rio_add_net() failure. A local user can trigger a subsequent mport unregister path to dereference a dangling mport->net pointer and attempt to free the rio_net object again.
