High [CVE-2026-66393] Denial of Service via unbounded recursion in JSONTaggedDecoder
NLTK versions before 3.9.4 contain an unbounded recursion vulnerability in JSONTaggedDecoder.decode_obj() that allows attackers to cause denial of service by supplying deeply nested JSON structures. Attackers can craft JSON payloads exceeding the recursion limit to trigger an unhandled RecursionError that crashes the Python process. A flaw was found in NLTK. This can cause the Python process to crash, leading to a denial of service. A denial of service flaw exists in NLTK's JSONTaggedDecoder, allowing remote attackers to crash Python processes by submitting crafted, deeply nested JSON data. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to Red Hat products that process untrusted JSON input using affected NLTK versions, as it can lead to service unavailability without requiring authentication or user interaction. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-606. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2. Red Hat lists Exploit Intelligence; Lightspeed Core; OpenShift Lightspeed; Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) as not affected. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
High [CVE-2026-63312] Arbitrary file read via StreamBackedCorpusView bypass
NLTK before 3.10.0 contains an arbitrary local file read vulnerability in StreamBackedCorpusView that bypasses pathsec.ENFORCE by calling builtins.open() directly instead of pathsec.open(). Attackers who control the fileid argument can read arbitrary local files regardless of the ENFORCE setting, including sensitive system files and application credentials. A flaw was found in NLTK. This vulnerability, specifically within the `StreamBackedCorpusView` component, allows an attacker to bypass security enforcement by directly calling `builtins.open()` instead of the intended `pathsec.open()`. The flaw in `StreamBackedCorpusView` bypasses intended security controls, enabling an attacker who can manipulate the `fileid` argument to access sensitive system files and application credentials within affected Red Hat products such as OpenShift Lightspeed, Lightspeed Core, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. This could lead to significant information disclosure. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-22. Red Hat lists Exploit Intelligence; OpenShift Lightspeed; Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) as not affected. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
High [CVE-2026-63310] NLTK before 3.9.3 Missing Post-Download Integrity Verification
NLTK before 3.9.3 fails to verify file integrity after downloading packages and before extraction in the downloader module. Attackers can perform man-in-the-middle attacks or DNS poisoning to inject malicious package contents that are extracted without validation. Red Hat has rated this issue as having an Impact of Important. This flaw is only exploitable when application code calls NLTK's downloader module (e.g. nltk.download()) to fetch corpora or model packages from the network at runtime, and an attacker is able to intercept or redirect that traffic via a man-in-the-middle position or DNS poisoning. Red Hat products that vendor nltk but do not invoke the downloader at runtime -- for example, images that ship pre-bundled NLTK data baked in at build time -- are not affected by this flaw regardless of the packaged nltk version. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-494. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.3; Exploit Intelligence; Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2; Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI). Red Hat lists Lightspeed Core; OpenShift Lightspeed; Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) as not affected. Will not fix / out of support: Exploit Intelligence; Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2. Red Hat fixing advisory: RHSA-2026:73987.
High [CVE-2026-62388] Bypass of path traversal and pickle deserialization protections due to insecure default configuration
NLTK versions before 3.10.0 default to ENFORCE=False in pathsec.py, causing all security validation functions to emit warnings instead of raising exceptions. Attackers can bypass path traversal and pickle deserialization protections by exploiting the disabled security controls that are only active when manually enabled. A flaw was found in NLTK. The software's default settings in `pathsec.py` cause security checks to only issue warnings rather than actively preventing malicious actions. This allows attackers to bypass safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized access to files (path traversal) and the execution of harmful code through data processing (pickle deserialization). NLTK versions before 3.10.0 in Red Hat products are configured by default to not enforce security validations for path traversal and pickle deserialization. This insecure default allows attackers to bypass these protections, as security controls are only active when manually enabled, increasing the risk of arbitrary code execution or unauthorized file access. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-1188. Affected Red Hat products: Lightspeed Core; Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2. Red Hat lists Exploit Intelligence; OpenShift Lightspeed; Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) as not affected.
High [CVE-2026-62384] Information Disclosure via Symlink Sandbox Bypass
NLTK versions before 3.10.2 contain a symlink-based sandbox bypass in FramenetCorpusReader that allows attackers to read arbitrary XML files outside the corpus root. Attackers can place symlinks with names containing no path separators inside the corpus subdirectory, which pass the path validation guard and are resolved to files outside the intended corpus root when accessed via frame_by_name(), _lu_file(), or doc() methods. A flaw was found in NLTK. An attacker can exploit this by placing specially crafted symbolic links within a corpus subdirectory. These symlinks bypass path validation, allowing the attacker to read arbitrary XML files located outside the intended corpus root, leading to information disclosure. A path traversal vulnerability exists in NLTK's FramenetCorpusReader component via symbolic links. Confidentiality is impacted within the context of the running application, though standard Linux discretionary access controls and container boundaries restrict arbitrary file access beyond the process's effective permissions. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-41. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.3; Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.5; Exploit Intelligence; Lightspeed Core; OpenShift Lightspeed; Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2; Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI).
High [CVE-2026-71513] Remote Code Execution via AllowlistUnpickler dotted-name bypass
NLTK before 3.10.3 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in AllowlistUnpickler that validates only the pickle module string and not the global name, allowing attackers to resolve dotted names by attribute traversal to callables outside the allowlisted namespace. Attackers can craft untrusted transition-parser models that execute arbitrary commands when TransitionParser.parse loads the model through allowlisted_pickle_load. A flaw was found in NLTK. A remote attacker can achieve remote code execution by crafting untrusted transition-parser models. This allows attackers to bypass the allowlist by resolving dotted names through attribute traversal, leading to the execution of arbitrary commands when `TransitionParser.parse` loads a malicious model. This can lead to arbitrary command execution and full system compromise in affected Red Hat products, including OpenShift Lightspeed and Lightspeed Core, which may process external data using NLTK. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 8.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-502. Red Hat lists Exploit Intelligence; OpenShift Lightspeed; Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2; Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) as not affected. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
High [CVE-2026-62243] TLS hostname verification bypass via OpenSSL client path misconfiguration
Netty (io.netty:netty-handler) versions from 4.2.0.Final through 4.2.16.Final and versions through 4.1.136.Final disable TLS hostname verification on the SslProvider.OPENSSL client path when a plain (non-extended) X509TrustManager is used and Unsafe-based trust-manager wrapping is unavailable (Java 25+). In this configuration the OpenSSL client does not perform hostname verification, allowing a man-in-the-middle attacker to present a certificate issued for a different hostname that is accepted without validation. Fixed in 4.2.17.Final and 4.1.137.Final. This could lead to sensitive information disclosure. Red Hat products ship io.netty:netty-handler as a transitive dependency across multiple middleware and platform products. While the CVSS score reflects the severity of a successful exploit — full confidentiality compromise of TLS-protected traffic without authentication — the vulnerable code path requires three conditions simultaneously: explicit OpenSSL provider configuration, a plain X509TrustManager, and a Java 25+ runtime. Most Red Hat product deployments use the default JDK SSL provider and currently run on Java 21 LTS, making the vulnerable configuration uncommon in practice. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-295.
High [CVE-2026-74730] Pin the 'struct nfs_server' during a FREE_STATEID call
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFS: Pin the 'struct nfs_server' during a FREE_STATEID call Dan Aloni reports that he was able to hit a use-after-free bug if a FREE_STATEID operation gets delayed for whatever reason. Fix this by bumping the refcount of the 'struct nfs_server' object for the duration of the FREE_STATEID so it doesn't get cleaned up from underneath us while operations are still in flight. This vulnerability involves improper memory handling where a critical data structure is released prematurely if a `FREE_STATEID` operation is delayed. This can lead to memory corruption, potentially causing system instability or a denial of service. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-911. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel-rt.
High [CVE-2026-74677] fix carrier_work UAF on disconnect
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: ipheth: fix carrier_work UAF on disconnect ipheth_sndbulk_callback() re-arms the carrier-check work on any non-zero URB status: else schedule_delayed_work(&dev->carrier_work, 0); Nothing ties that to the interface being up, so the work can be armed again after ipheth_close() has already drained it, and stay armed until the netdev whose private area embeds it is freed. On unplug with a TX URB in flight, ipheth_disconnect() drains the work through unregister_netdev() -> ipheth_close() -> cancel_delayed_work_sync() and only then calls ipheth_kill_urbs(). usb_kill_urb() completes the in-flight TX URB with -ENOENT, so ipheth_sndbulk_callback() runs after the drain and re-arms carrier_work. The same completion also re-arms the work if the interface is only brought down while a TX URB is in flight, and ipheth_carrier_check_work() then keeps re-queueing itself once a second. unregister_netdev() does not call ipheth_close() for an already-down interface, so nothing drains it on the later unplug either. In both cases free_netdev() frees the netdev while carrier_work is still pending, and ipheth_carrier_check_work() dereferences freed memory. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; and 1 more.
High [CVE-2026-74666] synchronize pressure clearing with ring reconfiguration
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: packet: synchronize pressure clearing with ring reconfiguration packet_set_ring() updates the RX ring state under sk_receive_queue.lock, but used to publish the tpacket receive mode through po->prot_hook.func after releasing that lock. packet_poll() and packet_recvmsg() can then run the pressure clearing path after the ring has been cleared while still seeing tpacket_rcv, causing __packet_rcv_has_room() to dereference stale or NULL ring storage. Move the existing receive hook assignment into the same sk_receive_queue.lock section as the ring state update. Keep the assignment otherwise unchanged, including on TX ring reconfiguration, to avoid adding behavior changes that are not required for the fix. Serialize packet_recvmsg() pressure clearing with the same queue lock only after PACKET_SOCK_PRESSURE has been observed. If the flag is clear and the socket has moved away from tpacket_rcv, packet_set_ring() has already detached the socket and waited for synchronize_net(), so no new packet input can set the flag again. packet_poll() already holds sk_receive_queue.lock, so it uses the new unlocked helper directly. This vulnerability occurs due to improper synchronization during ring reconfiguration, where the system can attempt to access memory that has already been freed or is invalid.
High [CVE-2026-74624] defer invalid log until after unlock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_conntrack: defer invalid log until after unlock TCP and SCTP conntrack paths can emit invalid-packet logs while ct->lock is still held. When invalid logging is routed to nfnetlink_log and conntrack export is enabled, the log path can re-enter conntrack netlink glue and dump the same conntrack again. Protocol attribute dumping may take ct->lock, so logging while holding that lock can deadlock. Also make the TCP timeout-lowering invalid path return whether a log is needed, then emit that log after unlocking. Add a lockdep assertion to nf_ct_l4proto_log_invalid() so future callers that log invalid conntracks while holding ct->lock are caught outside TCP and SCTP as well. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-833. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel-rt.
High [CVE-2026-74700] Always acquire rtnl_lock when destroying locked classifiers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: cls_api: Always acquire rtnl_lock when destroying locked classifiers Another challenge with unlocked filters. There is a short window in tc_new_tfilter where a tcf_proto can be found and briefly referenced by a totally unrelated, unlocked classifier's request and cause a race. Feng created a poc which created this race with two threads, one creating a u32 filter and other a flower filter in the same chain/prio: 1. Both threads enter tc_new_tfilter, both find the chain empty, both drop filter_chain_lock 2. u32 finishes tcf_proto_create("u32") first, calls tcf_chain_tp_insert_unique() -> inserts u32_tp into the chain 3. flower finishes tcf_proto_create("flower") later, calls tcf_chain_tp_insert_unique() -> tcf_chain_tp_find() now sees u32_tp already there, takes a reference on it, destroys flower's own tp_new and returns u32_tp to the caller. Flower then hits the kind mismatch check (because it requested for kind "flower" but tp->ops->kind is "u32") and goes through the errout path which calls tcf_proto_put() on u32_tp. If the u32 thread has already gone through its own errout (its change() call failed on the PoC's empty options) and dropped its create and insert refs, flower's put is the last one and drops u32_tp's refcnt to zero.
High [CVE-2026-74668] use consistent hard_header_len in TX_RING send path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: packet: use consistent hard_header_len in TX_RING send path tpacket_snd() reads dev->hard_header_len independently for skb allocation and header construction in tpacket_fill_skb(). Concurrent netdevice reconfiguration can therefore make the reserved headroom smaller than the amount later pushed, or make copylen - hard_header_len negative. Snapshot hard_header_len once before processing ring frames and use it for the frame limit, headroom allocation, copy length, and skb construction. Pass the snapshot to tpacket_fill_skb(). The separate SOCK_DGRAM consistency problem between hard_header_len and header_ops->create is not addressed here. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's packet handling mechanism. During concurrent network device reconfigurations, an inconsistency in how the `hard_header_len` value is used can lead to memory corruption. This issue could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by triggering a system crash or potentially lead to other unpredictable system behavior. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-131. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
High [CVE-2026-74715] Fix netns reference imbalance in conntrack kfuncs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix netns reference imbalance in conntrack kfuncs The opts argument of the BPF conntrack kfuncs can point to a shared map value. __bpf_nf_ct_lookup() and __bpf_nf_ct_alloc_entry() read opts->netns_id separately when acquiring and releasing the network namespace reference. The reference imbalance can occur as follows: CPU 0 CPU 1 read opts->netns_id (-1) skip get_net_ns_by_id() write opts->netns_id (id) read opts->netns_id (id) put_net(net) /* no matching get */ The reverse transition leaks the reference. Repeating the unmatched put can destroy a live namespace and crash later users. The kernel reported: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x00000000000000e8-0x00000000000000ef] RIP: 0010:bpf_prog_test_run_xdp+0x52c/0x1700 Call Trace: __sys_bpf+0x1662/0x50c0 __x64_sys_bpf+0x73/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0xf9/0x540 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception Snapshot every input field of opts with READ_ONCE() before validating or using it. The netns_id snapshot keeps the namespace get/put pair balanced, while the other snapshots keep the remaining options from changing partway through an invocation. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat package: kernel-rt.
High [CVE-2026-74621] fix sk_buff leak when the header checks reject a packet
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: act_ct: fix sk_buff leak when the header checks reject a packet tcf_ct_handle_fragments() runs its header sanity checks before handing anything to the defragmentation engine: if (family == NFPROTO_IPV4) err = tcf_ct_ipv4_is_fragment(skb, &frag); else err = tcf_ct_ipv6_is_fragment(skb, &frag); if (err ||!frag) return err; tcf_ct_ipv4_is_fragment() returns -EINVAL or -ENOMEM; tcf_ct_ipv6_is_fragment() adds -EPROTO when ipv6_find_hdr() fails. None of them frees or queues the skb, so on that path the caller still owns it. tcf_ct_act() however funnels every non-zero return into the ownership-transfer exit: err = tcf_ct_handle_fragments(net, skb, family, p->zone, &defrag); if (err) goto out_frag;... out_frag: if (err!= -EINPROGRESS) tcf_action_inc_drop_qstats(&c->common); return TC_ACT_CONSUMED; TC_ACT_CONSUMED means the action took ownership of the skb, so no caller frees it - sch_handle_ingress(), sch_handle_egress() and tcf_qevent_handle() all deliberately skip the free for that verdict. The skb is therefore orphaned: one sk_buff plus its data buffer is leaked per malformed packet, unbounded. Note the drop counter is already incremented for these errors, so the statistics claim a drop that never happens.
High [CVE-2026-74669] clear IPv4 options after rebasing tunnel ICMP errors
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipvs: clear IPv4 options after rebasing tunnel ICMP errors ip_vs_in_icmp() rebases an skb from the outer ICMP packet to the quoted original request before passing it to icmp_send(). However, IPCB(skb)->opt still describes the outer IPv4 header. A timestamp option in the outer header can therefore leave an offset that points into the quoted transport header after the rebase. __ip_options_echo() treats a byte at that stale location as the option length and copies it into the fixed-size option storage on the __icmp_send() stack, causing a stack out-of-bounds write. Clear the stale option metadata after resetting the network header. Keep the remaining control block fields, including the ingress interface used by the ICMP response path. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IP Virtual Server (IPVS) component. When processing Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) errors for tunneled packets, the system can incorrectly use a stale IPv4 option offset. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted ICMP packet, leading to a stack out-of-bounds write. This vulnerability could result in a denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 8.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-787.
High [CVE-2026-74714] Fix use-after-free in bpf_iter_tcp_established_batch
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: tcp: Fix use-after-free in bpf_iter_tcp_established_batch() reqsk_queue_hash_req() publishes a TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV request_sock onto the ehash chain, drops the bucket lock, and only afterwards sets rsk_refcnt to 3. Lockless readers such as __inet_lookup_established() handle this with refcount_inc_not_zero(), but bpf_iter_tcp_established_batch() uses plain sock_hold() while holding the bucket lock, on the assumption that the lock guarantees sk_refcnt > 0. That assumption does not hold for request_sock: CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- tcp_conn_request() reqsk_queue_hash_req() inet_ehash_insert(req) spin_lock(bucket) __sk_nulls_add_node_rcu(req) // rsk_refcnt == 0 spin_unlock(bucket) bpf_iter_tcp_established_batch() spin_lock(bucket) sock_hold(req) rsk_refcnt, 3) // clobbers saturated value which surfaces as: refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

High [CVE-2026-74695] drop existing skb dst before skb_dst_set_noref
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_flow_table: drop existing skb dst before skb_dst_set_noref() Incoming skbs passing through netfilter flowtable offload hooks (or XFRM offload path) might already carry a ref-counted dst_entry assigned during earlier RX or routing steps. Calling skb_dst_set_noref() when skb already holds a ref-counted dst overwrites skb->_skb_refdst, leaking the previous dst_entry reference count and triggering a DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE assertion in skb_dst_check_unset(): WARNING: at skb_dst_check_unset include/linux/skbuff.h:1170 WARNING: at skb_dst_set_noref include/linux/skbuff.h:1234 WARNING: at nf_flow_offload_ip_hook+0xf6c/0x2b60 net/netfilter/nf_flow_table_ip.c:864 Drop any existing dst_entry reference with skb_dst_drop(skb) before setting the non-referenced flowtable destination. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter flow table. When processing network packets, a reference count leak can occur if a packet already has a destination entry and skb_dst_set_noref() is called. This issue can lead to a kernel warning, potentially causing system instability or a denial of service (DoS) for affected systems. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-911.
High [CVE-2026-74588] keep chunk->transport in step with the list it is queued on
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: keep chunk->transport in step with the list it is queued on __sctp_outq_flush_rtx() moves a gap-acked chunk onto another transport's transmitted list without updating chunk->transport: if (chunk->tsn_gap_acked) { list_move_tail(&chunk->transmitted_list, &transport->transmitted); continue; } The chunk then sits on a live transport's list while chunk->transport still names a different one. If that transport is removed - sctp_assoc_rm_peer() from an ASCONF Delete-IP - sctp_transport_free() RCU-frees it and the chunk is left with a dangling pointer. sctp_assoc_rm_peer() scrubs peer->transmitted and asoc->outqueue.out_chunk_list, but the chunk is on neither. The pointer is not followed while tsn_gap_acked is set. A SACK that reneges on the TSN clears the flag, and the next SACK reaches tchunk->transport->flight_size -= sctp_data_size(tchunk); inside the freed transport. KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free read in sctp_check_transmitted(), freed from sctp_assoc_rm_peer(). Both the removal and the SACKs come from the association peer. The ordinary resend path needs nothing: it reaches its list_move_tail() only after sctp_packet_append_chunk() returned SCTP_XMIT_OK, and __sctp_packet_append_chunk() has rebound the chunk by then.
High [CVE-2026-74661] fix netdev use-after-free in beacon worker
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mac802154: fix netdev use-after-free in beacon worker mac802154_beacon_worker() reads local->beacon_req under RCU and derives the sub-interface from the request, but then drops the RCU read lock and continues to use both sdata and the embedded wpan_dev. mac802154_stop_beacons_locked() cancels only pending beacon work, clears local->beacon_req and frees the request. A beacon worker that is already running can therefore continue after interface teardown and dereference the freed netdev private area. The scan worker already pins the netdev before leaving RCU. Apply the same lifetime rule to the beacon worker: take a netdev reference while the request is still protected by RCU, and release it on all paths that continue after the reference is acquired. This use-after-free vulnerability allows a local attacker to potentially cause a system crash (denial of service) or execute arbitrary code. The issue arises when the beacon worker attempts to access memory that has already been freed during network interface teardown. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-825. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel.
