{"id":"AZL-112598","summary":"CVE-2026-99246 affecting package kernel 6.6.159.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntipc: protect node reset trace dump with node lock\n\nThe tipc_node_reset_links trace event asks tipc_node_dump() to walk the\nnode's link entries. Unlike the other node events that request link data,\nthis event runs without the node lock.\n\nThis permits bearer teardown to free a link while the trace callback is\ndumping it:\n\n  CPU 0                                CPU 1\n  trace_tipc_node_reset_links()\n    tipc_node_dump()\n      l = n-\u003elinks[0].link\n                                       tipc_node_write_lock()\n                                       kfree(l)\n                                       n-\u003elinks[0].link = NULL\n                                       tipc_node_write_unlock()\n      tipc_link_dump(l)\n\ntipc_link_dump() then dereferences the stale pointer.
