NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kpatch-patch-5_14_0-362_8_1 package and not the kpatch-patch-5_14_0-362_8_1 package as distributed by RHEL.

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in drivers/nvme/target/tcp.cinnvmet_tcp_free_crypto` due to a logical bug in the NVMe/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. This issue may allow a malicious user to cause a use-after-free and double-free problem, which may permit remote code execution or lead to local privilege escalation.
