Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's qrtr networking driver. During the driver's removal process, a timing issue can occur if a packet arrives after the work queue is destroyed but before the socket is released. This can cause the system to attempt to access memory that has already been freed, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. Such a vulnerability can result in system instability or a denial of service.
