Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13 Description: The issue is related to the hns enet.c component in the Linux kernel, specifically with the use of memory after it has been freed. This can be exploited by local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have other unspecified impacts. The exploitation is tied to differences in skb handling between `hns nic net xmit hw` and `hns nic net xmit`. Recommendations: For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13, update to version 4.13 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `hns enet.c` component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
