JSON

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the tls subsystem of the Linux kernel. The tls_decrypt_sg() function doesn’t take references on the pages from clear_skb, so the put_page() in tls_decrypt_done() releases them and a use-after-free can be triggered in process_rx_list when trying to read from the partially-read skb. This issue could lead to a denial of service condition or code execution.

Mitigation

No current mitigation is available for this vulnerability. Please make sure to have kernel up-to-date as soon as the patches are available to make sure the flaw mitigated.
