In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: airoha: Fix use-after-free in metadata dst teardown
airoha_metadata_dst_free() runs metadata_dst_free() which frees the
metadata_dst with kfree() immediately, bypassing the RCU grace period.
In the RX path, skb_dst_set_noref() sets a non-refcounted pointer from
the skb to the metadata_dst. This function requires RCU read-side
protection and the dst must remain valid until all RCU readers complete.
Since metadata_dst_free() calls kfree() directly, an use-after-free can
occur if any skb still holds a noref pointer to the dst when the driver
tears it down.
Replace metadata_dst_free() with dst_release() which properly goes
through the refcount path: when the refcount drops to zero, it schedules
the actual free via call_rcu_hurry(), ensuring all RCU readers have
completed before the memory is freed.

CVE-2026-53248 CWE-911 kernel: net: airoha: Fix use-after-free in metadata dst teardown
kernel: net: airoha: Fix use-after-free in metadata dst teardown
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's airoha network driver. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs when the `airoha_metadata_dst_free()` function frees memory prematurely, before all references to it are released. If a network packet still holds a pointer to the freed memory, a use-after-free condition can arise. This could lead to system instability or potentially allow an attacker to escalate privileges.
