Threats tagged 'ghsa-6vf7-pxhp-xpjv'

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's tracing subsystem was resolved. The issue occurs because the reference to a named histogram trigger is taken only after it is published to a global list, which can lead to a freed object being accessed during subsequent lookups. This flaw can cause kernel memory corruption and instability. The fix involves taking the reference before publishing the trigger, preventing access to freed memory.
