Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local attacker with low privileges could exploit this by triggering a failure in the rio_add_net() function, which incorrectly uses kfree() instead of put_device(). This can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability, potentially resulting in information disclosure, privilege escalation, or a denial of service.
