Move the kfree() of this potentially extended tx.buf to\nsk_destruct time when either isotp_sendmsg() and isotp_release() are done.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-416","CWE-364"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2e62e7051eca75a7f2e3d52d62ec10d7d7aa358c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/424e95d62110cdbc8fd12b40918f37e408e35a92","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9649d051e54413049c009638ec1dc23962c884a4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cb3d6efa78460e6d50bf68806d0db66265709f64","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/eec8a1b18a79600bd4419079dc0026c1db72a830"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-31474","score":0.00104,"percentile":0.01027,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
