Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. An issue in the eXpress Data Path (XDP) socket (xsk) component, specifically during fragment node deletion, can lead to a buffer leak. This occurs because a list node is not properly reinitialized after removal, causing the system to incorrectly manage memory. This could potentially lead to system instability or a denial of service.
