Vulnerabilities description

  • CVE-2024-50154

    A use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability was found and fixed in the Linux kernel's TCP subsystem related to request socket (reqsk) timers during handshake handling. This issue stems from a race condition caused by relying on timer_pending() in reqsk_queue_unlink(). This could result in the timer continuing to run after the socket (req->sk) is freed, allowing BPF programs to access invalid memory.

  • CVE-2025-38086

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ch9200: fix uninitialised access during mii_nway_restart.
