CVE-2026-63803

The CVE-2026-63803 has concrete technical details in the Linux kernel: hdlc_ppp timers for PPP LCP/IPCP/IPV6CP in struct ppp are not synchronized on teardown due to a missing .detach callback, causing a use-after-free when a ppp_timer dereferences freed memory. The fix adds a detach helper that c...
