**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue arises from the `gve rx free skb` function incorrectly leaving `napi->skb` referencing an skb after it is freed with `dev kfree skb any()`. This can result in a subsequent call to `napi get frags` returning a dangling pointer. The fix involves clearing `napi->skb` before the skb is freed. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
