CVE-2022-3586
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s networking code.
Published Oct 19, 2022 · updated Oct 14, 2026 · linux linux kernel
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s networking code. A use-after-free was found in the way the sch_sfb enqueue function used the socket buffer (SKB) cb field after the same SKB had been enqueued (and freed) into a child qdisc. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to crash the system, causing a denial of service.
