Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2022-49026
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a possible use after free in the `e100 xmit prepare()` function. If the function cannot map the `skb`, it returns `-ENOMEM`, causing `e100 xmit frame()` to return `NETDEV TX BUSY` and the upper layer to resend the `skb`. However, the `skb` is already freed, leading to a use after free bug when the upper layer resends the `skb`. The problem is resolved by removing the harmful free. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
