Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2021-46998
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a use after free bug in the `enic hard start xmit` function. This function calls `enic queue wq skb()`, which may free the `skb` if an error occurs. However, the freed `skb` is still used in `skb tx timestamp(skb)`, potentially leading to a denial of service. The solution involves making `enic queue wq skb()` return an error and goto `spin unlock()` in case of an error.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
