This results in a slab use\u2011after\u2011free error that corrupts kernel memory. The vulnerability is documented through a KASAN stack trace demonstrating an illegal read after the object has been freed.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS base score of 7.8 signifies high severity, but the EPSS score of less than 1\u202f% indicates a low current exploitation likelihood. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA\u2019s KEV catalog. Based on the description, an attacker could trigger the flaw by causing IPv6 address deletion via the appropriate ioctl interface, which typically requires elevated privileges. The memory corruption could be leveraged by a privileged attacker to compromise kernel execution integrity, though active exploitation has not been reported. The overall risk is therefore high for privileged users but low for general unprivileged users."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-18T15:15:03.688485+00:00", "updated": "2026-04-18T15:15:03.688497+00:00", "vendors": []}
