Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74705)
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 attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in __skb_udp_tunnel_segment() in net/ipv4/udp_offload.c when processing tunnel segmentation for skb data after pulling the tunnel header into the skb head. A local attacker can trigger skb head reallocation and subsequent use of a stale UDP header pointer to cause a denial of service.
