Description

CVE-2025-39827 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's rose network protocol implementation. It involves improper reference counting of rose_neigh structures, leading to a use-after-free condition. The flaw was fixed by merging two separate reference counting mechanisms to ensure proper memory management and freeing of rose_neigh objects only after all references are released.
