FKIE_CVE-2025-39978
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-10-15 08:15 - Updated: 2026-07-30 06:24
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-pf: Fix potential use after free in otx2_tc_add_flow()
This code calls kfree_rcu(new_node, rcu) and then dereferences "new_node"
and then dereferences it on the next line. Two lines later, we take
a mutex so I don't think this is an RCU safe region. Re-order it to do
the dereferences before queuing up the free.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
