Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's team network device driver. When a network packet is dropped during a queue override operation, the driver attempts to reuse the freed packet buffer on subsequent transmit attempts. A local attacker could exploit this use-after-free condition to cause a system crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS), or potentially execute arbitrary code.
