Compensating controls
- Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
- Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
- Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.
Verification
- Confirm that the asset runs Linux Linux and falls inside the recorded affected range.
- Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
- Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
- Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Distribution package intelligence
4 package statesRelease-specific package status
Debian findings are scoped to the named distribution, release and source package. An absent finding does not mean a package is unaffected.
Repository candidate not checked
A published vendor fix does not prove that a matching update is enabled and installable on a particular asset. Confirm the local package candidate before scheduling remediation.

What, why and how
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: fix double-free on socket dismantle when MPTCP server accepts an incoming connection, it clones its listener socket. However, the pointer to 'inet_opt' for the new socket has the same value as the original one: as a consequence, on program exit it's possible to observe the following splat: BUG: KASAN: double-free in inet_sock_destruct+0x54f/0x8b0 Free of addr ffff888485950880 by task swapper/25/0 CPU: 25 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/25 Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.8.0-rc1+ #609 Hardware name: Supermicro SYS-6027R-72RF/X9DRH-7TF/7F/iTF/iF, BIOS 3.0 07/26/2013 Call Trace: <IRQ> dump_stack_lvl+0x32/0x50 print_report+0xca/0x620 kasan_report_invalid_free+0x64/0x90 __kasan_slab_free+0x1aa/0x1f0 kfree+0xed/0x2e0 inet_sock_destruct+0x54f/0x8b0 __sk_destruct+0x48/0x5b0 rcu_do_batch+0x34e/0xd90 rcu_core+0x559/0xac0 __do_softirq+0x183/0x5a4 irq_exit_rcu+0x12d/0x170 sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6b/0x80 </IRQ> <TASK> asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x16/0x20 RIP: 0010:cpuidle_enter_state+0x175/0x300 Code: 30 00 0f 84 1f 01 00 00 83 e8 01 83 f8 ff 75 e5 48 83 c4 18 44 89 e8 5b 5d 41 5c 41 5d 41 5e 41 5f c3 cc cc cc cc fb 45 85 ed <0f> 89 60 ff ff ff 48 c1 e5 06 48 c7 43 18 00 00 00 00 48 83 44 2b RSP: 0018:ffff888481cf7d90 EFLAGS: 00000202 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88887facddc8 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 1ffff1110ff588b1 RSI: 0000000000000019 RDI: ffff88887fac4588 RBP: 0000000000000004 R08: 0000000000000002 R09: 0000000000043080 R10: 0009b02ea273363f R11: ffff88887fabf42b R12: ffffffff932592e0 R13: 0000000000000004 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 00000022c880ec80 cpuidle_enter+0x4a/0xa0 do_idle+0x310/0x410 cpu_startup_entry+0x51/0x60 start_secondary+0x211/0x270 secondary_startup_64_no_verify+0x184/0x18b </TASK> Allocated by task 6853: kasan_save_stack+0x1c/0x40 kasan_save_track+0x10/0x30 __kasan_kmalloc+0xa6/0xb0 __kmalloc+0x1eb/0x450 cipso_v4_sock_setattr+0x96/0x360 netlbl_sock_setattr+0x132/0x1f0 selinux_netlbl_socket_post_create+0x6c/0x110 selinux_socket_post_create+0x37b/0x7f0 security_socket_post_create+0x63/0xb0 __sock_create+0x305/0x450 __sys_socket_create.part.23+0xbd/0x130 __sys_socket+0x37/0xb0 __x64_sys_socket+0x6f/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x83/0x160 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76 Freed by task 6858: kasan_save_stack+0x1c/0x40 kasan_save_track+0x10/0x30 kasan_save_free_info+0x3b/0x60 __kasan_slab_free+0x12c/0x1f0 kfree+0xed/0x2e0 inet_sock_destruct+0x54f/0x8b0 __sk_destruct+0x48/0x5b0 subflow_ulp_release+0x1f0/0x250 tcp_cleanup_ulp+0x6e/0x110 tcp_v4_destroy_sock+0x5a/0x3a0 inet_csk_destroy_sock+0x135/0x390 tcp_fin+0x416/0x5c0 tcp_data_queue+0x1bc8/0x4310 tcp_rcv_state_process+0x15a3/0x47b0 tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x2c1/0x990 tcp_v4_rcv+0x41fb/0x5ed0 ip_protocol_deliver_rcu+0x6d/0x9f0 ip_local_deliver_finish+0x278/0x360 ip_local_deliver+0x182/0x2c0 ip_rcv+0xb5/0x1c0 __netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x16e/0x1b0 process_backlog+0x1e3/0x650 __napi_poll+0xa6/0x500 net_rx_action+0x740/0xbb0 __do_softirq+0x183/0x5a4 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888485950880 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-64 of size 64 The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of 64-byte region [ffff888485950880, ffff8884859508c0) The buggy address belongs to the physical page: page:0000000056d1e95e refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0xffff888485950700 pfn:0x485950 flags: 0x57ffffc0000800(slab|node=1|zone=2|lastcpupid=0x1fffff) page_type: 0xffffffff() raw: 0057ffffc0000800 ffff88810004c640 ffffea00121b8ac0 dead000000000006 raw: ffff888485950700 0000000000200019 00000001ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected Memory state around the buggy address: ffff888485950780: fa fb fb ---truncated---

Why
The product calls free() twice on the same memory address.
How
An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.
02
Exploit reality and attack path
CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
Observed exploitation No confirmed evidence
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
Public PoC / exploit material None recorded
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
- Likely attack path
- a network path → Double Free → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
- Attack surface
- Network
- Privileges required
- None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible
- User interaction
- None
- Attack complexity
- Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
- Security boundary
- Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
- Weakness
?
CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness. - CWE-415 ↗
CWE-415: Double Free. The product calls free() twice on the same memory address.
- CVSS vector
?
CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCommon Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

- No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.
03
Patch and workaround
Operational remediation based on structured source evidence.
- Status
?
Patch availability is based on structured fixed-version fields and authoritative update references. If no fix is verified, check the vendor advisory before making a change. - Patch available
- Action
- Review the linked authoritative reference and apply the recorded fixed release appropriate to the affected product branch.
- Workaround
- No verified workaround is recorded. If business-safe, reduce exposure to the affected interface and allow only trusted sources until authoritative guidance is available.
