Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-89478

Vulnerability identifier: #VU149328

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89478

CWE-ID: CWE-416

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote user to access freed memory.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the SCTP input queue when processing a DATA chunk after an authenticated ASCONF DEL-IP removes its transport. A remote user can cause a delayed SACK to read the freed transport's state to access freed memory.
