The vulnerability of the unix_stream_recv_urg() function in the implementation of AF_UNIX sockets in Linux kernels allows a attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the protected information.

The vulnerability of the unixstreamrecvurg function in the net/unix/afunix.c module, which is part of the Linux kernel’s AFUNIX socket implementation, relates to the repeated use of previously freed memory. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality,...
