Description

CVE-2026-63827 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the AppArmor component of the Linux kernel. It occurs in the rawdata deduplication loop where a reference count can be incorrectly incremented on an already freed object, leading to potential memory corruption. This flaw affects specific Linux kernel versions and has been fixed by introducing a safer reference count check to skip dying entries during deduplication.
