NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-modules-desktop package and not the kernel-uek-modules-desktop package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: algif_hash - fix double free in hash_accept

If accept(2) is called on socket type algif_hash with MSG_MORE flag set and crypto_ahash_import fails, sk2 is freed. However, it is also freed in af_alg_release, leading to slab-use-after-free error.
