CVE-2026-68397 in Linux
Riassunto
di MITRE • 10/08/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/iucv: take a reference on the socket found in afiucv_hs_rcv()
afiucv_hs_rcv() looks up the destination socket under iucv_sk_list.lock, drops the lock, and then passes the socket to the afiucv_hs_callback_*() handlers without holding a reference. AF_IUCV sockets are not RCU-protected and are freed synchronously by iucv_sock_kill() -> sock_put(), so a concurrent close can free the socket in the window between read_unlock() and the handler, which then dereferences freed memory (for example sk->sk_data_ready() in afiucv_hs_callback_syn()).
Take a reference with sock_hold() while the socket is still on the list and release it with sock_put() once the handler has run.
Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
