Double free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64597

Published: August 7, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU141259
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64597
CWE-ID: CWE-415
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to double free in SMB2_close() in the SMB client close request handling when processing a response-bearing attempt that returns a replayable error. A remote user can trigger a replay sequence that causes the same response buffer to be freed twice to cause a denial of service.
