The DEL-IP for L passes the D8 check and\ncalls sctp_assoc_rm_peer() on the transport that asconf->transport still\npoints at, freeing it (RCU-deferred). The following wildcard DEL-IP then\nreuses the now-dangling asconf->transport in sctp_assoc_set_primary() and\nsctp_assoc_del_nonprimary_peers(): set_primary() dereferences the freed\ntransport (->ipaddr, ->state) and plants the dangling pointer into\nasoc->peer.primary_path / active_path, and del_nonprimary_peers(), keeping\nonly the pointer that is no longer on the list, removes every real\ntransport, leaving the association with a transport_count of 0 and\nprimary_path/active_path pointing at freed memory.\n\nReject a DEL-IP that targets the transport the ASCONF is being processed\nagainst, mirroring the existing source-address guard, so the wildcard\nbranch can never reuse a freed transport.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-416"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2b324ba3494ae958cba16a453e3e71489b4de7fc","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/74e8f3e7114f0e26d1b2c4c048044db9fcc27603","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/85aca407c560aba81b5ce9d3d6cf94c74077d19b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9b2854f86f0b56e9027d68e7a3fc909d1a9b566f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a63afa1f9b12d5293cbe0b77fd45dc0632533a13"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:56:58.798400159+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64564","score":0.01432,"percentile":0.7286,"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).
