FKIE_CVE-2022-49127
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-02-26 07:00 - Updated: 2026-06-17 05:17
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ref_tracker: implement use-after-free detection
Whenever ref_tracker_dir_init() is called, mark the struct ref_tracker_dir
as dead.
Test the dead status from ref_tracker_alloc() and ref_tracker_free()
This should detect buggy dev_put()/dev_hold() happening too late
in netdevice dismantle process.
