CVE-2026-53247

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ethernet driver for MediaTek (mtk_eth_soc) network devices. This vulnerability, a 'use-after-free', occurs when the system attempts to free a memory region while it is still being used by network packet processing. This can allow a local attacker to trigger system instability, potentially leading to a denial of service (DoS) or, in some cases, unauthorized code execution.
