In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: protect node reset trace dump with node lock
The tipc_node_reset_links trace event asks tipc_node_dump() to walk the
node's link entries. Unlike the other node events that request link data,
this event runs without the node lock.
This permits bearer teardown to free a link while the trace callback is
dumping it:
CPU 0 CPU 1
trace_tipc_node_reset_links()
tipc_node_dump()
l = n->links[0].link
tipc_node_write_lock()
kfree(l)
n->links[0].link = NULL
tipc_node_write_unlock()
tipc_link_dump(l)
tipc_link_dump() then dereferences the stale pointer. KASAN reported:

Take the node write lock around the trace event. This serializes the
dump against tipc_node_link_down(delete=true), which frees the link
under the same write lock.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC (Transparent Inter-Process Communication) subsystem. A race condition occurs when tracing link reset events without proper locking, which can cause link data to be freed while it is actively being accessed. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this use-after-free vulnerability by sending network traffic that triggers link resets during connection teardown. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service (DoS) through a system crash.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Important severity because successful exploitation may permit an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger kernel memory corruption or an immediate system crash. The TIPC kernel module is not loaded by default across Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations and must be explicitly configured. Furthermore, triggering the condition requires precise timing between link reset tracing and bearer teardown operations, resulting in high attack complexity.

--- CME Mitigation Guidance (2026-11-04) --- Disclaimer: The following mitigation solutions are provided as a courtesy, pending the application of an official patch. This content was generated utilizing AI tools in conjunction with data from https://cmetaxonomy.org. Customers are advised to independently evaluate and test these temporary mitigations within their own infrastructure. The highest-value action is to acquire the TIPC node write lock across trace_tipc_node_reset_links or disable TIPC node reset tracepoints to prevent unlocked link dumping: upgrade to the corresponding fixed Red Hat builds, which acquire the node write lock around trace_tipc_node_reset_links to serialize trace dumping against link deletion, closing crafted TIPC network traffic triggering link resets during concurrent bearer teardown. Until patched, this is only a concern on Linux systems with the TIPC module and bearer enabled and node reset tracepoints actively monitored — Linux systems without the TIPC module loaded or active bearers are unaffected — so disable active TIPC node reset tracepoints, restrict network access to TIPC bearer interfaces, and avoid concurrent bearer teardown operations. As a compensating measure, enable KASAN or HWASan to detect kernel slab use-after-free reads when stale link pointers are accessed, enforce NX/XD non-executable memory permissions on kernel heap and data pages to prevent shellcode execution, enable KASLR to randomize kernel base addresses and impede code execution following stale pointer dereferencing, enable SMEP to block the kernel from executing userspace memory pages during exploit payload delivery, enable SMAP to block supervisor access to userspace memory structures during privilege escalation attempts, and enforce Control Flow Integrity and Shadow Call Stack to prevent forward-edge indirect branch redirection in kernel space. These controls limit blast radius and contain exploitation, but they do not fix the underlying race condition use-after-free defect — apply the upstream patch to fully remediate.
