Descriptions

A use-after-free flaw was found in vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf in drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c in VMware's vmxnet3 ethernet NIC driver in the Linux Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash the system due to a double-free while cleaning up vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all, which could also lead to a kernel information leak problem.

Se encontró una falla de use-after-free en vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf en drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c en el controlador NIC Ethernet vmxnet3 de VMware en el kernel de Linux. Este problema podría permitir que un atacante local bloquee el sistema debido a una doble liberación mientras se limpia vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all, lo que también podría provocar un problema de fuga de información del kernel.
