Threats tagged 'ghsa-g8mr-r59r-2xmq'

A high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's af_unix subsystem involving improper unlinking of scc_entry in the unix_del_edge() function has been resolved. The flaw could cause the garbage collector (GC) to partially free a dead strongly connected component (SCC), leading to use-after-free or memory corruption scenarios. This occurs due to a race condition when edges are added and sockets are closed concurrently, causing inconsistent GC state. The issue affects specific Linux kernel versions and has a CVSS score of 7.8.
