Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-99027)

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 by triggering a kernel crash.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the Linux kernel team driver's queue override transmission helper when an override port's queueing discipline drops a packet buffer and transmission returns a nonzero result. A local user can trigger packet transmission through the affected queue override path to cause the freed buffer to be reused for another port or the mode transmit operation, potentially crashing the kernel.
