AF_IUCV sockets are not\nRCU-protected and are freed synchronously by iucv_sock_kill() ->\nsock_put(), so a concurrent close can free the socket in the window\nbetween read_unlock() and the handler, which then dereferences freed\nmemory (for example sk->sk_data_ready() in afiucv_hs_callback_syn()).\n\nTake a reference with sock_hold() while the socket is still on the list\nand release it with sock_put() once the handler has run.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-416"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1801cb20a5025a787d6853e19c38db138344b4b4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4dc0e63abf8bc7ba8892e617c1fb8b204361e022","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4fa349156043dc119721d067329714179f501749","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5595ea59cdf29182cf6a270cacc1426c57b603de","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5739be5c19495d709d902a2912c9102ce78740d5"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:56:58.798400159+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-68397","score":0.00263,"percentile":0.17997,"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).
