**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 5.0.6 **Description** An issue in the Linux kernel's network subsystem is related to errors in pointer counting in the functions `rx queue add kobject()` and `netdev queue add kobject()` in `net/core/net-sysfs.c`. This issue can allow an attacker to impact data integrity. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.0.6, update to version 5.0.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable functions `rx queue add kobject()` and `netdev queue add kobject()` until a patch is available.
