Search: CVE-2026-72222

CVE-2026-72222 is a critical vulnerability in the Linux kernel's sunrpc subsystem related to asynchronous TLS handshake handling. The flaw involves a race condition where a callback writes to freed memory, causing slab corruption. This occurs on TLS-enabled NFS servers when connection close events overlap with TLS handshake callbacks. The issue can lead to memory corruption with potential for system compromise. Multiple Linux kernel versions are affected, and patches have been released to fix the flaw.
