CVE-2024-26582: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: tls: fix use-after-free with partial reads and async decrypt tls_decrypt_sg doesn't take a reference on the pages from clear_skb, so the put_page() in tls_decrypt_done releases them, and we trigger a use-after-free in process_rx_list when we try to read from the partially-read skb.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.0, before 6.1.79 (fixed in 6.1.79); from 6.2.0, before 6.6.18 (fixed in 6.6.18); from 6.7.0, before 6.7.6 (fixed in 6.7.6)
