Summary

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's NFC LLCP stack in the llcp_sock_release() function. The issue occurs when a socket in the connecting state is removed from the wrong list, potentially leading to memory corruption.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to achieve remote code execution or cause a denial of service (DoS) on a system with NFC enabled.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit addressing the issue).

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: llcp: Fix use-after-free in llcp_sock_release() llcp_sock_release() unconditionally unlinks the socket from the local sockets list. However, if the socket is still in connecting state, it is on the connecting list. Fix this by checking the socket state and unlinking from the correct list.
