Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free due to improper reference counting in the aoecmd_cfg_pkts function. An attacker with local access can trigger a use-after-free condition by initiating a race condition between the deallocation of struct net_device and its access through the skbtxq global queue, which could result in system crashes or arbitrary code execution.
