CVE-2025-39978

7.8 high SSVC exploitation: none Deferred

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-pf: Fix potential use after free in otx2_tc_add_flow() This code calls kfree_rcu(new_node, rcu) and then dereferences "new_node" and then dereferences it on the next line. Two lines later, we take a mutex so I don't think this is an RCU safe region. Re-order it to do the dereferences before queuing up the free.

Fix

Nothing published yet: no patch, vendor advisory or mitigation reference on NVD, no vendor advisory in the News for this CVE, not in CISA's KEV, no fixed package version. BaselineWatch does not guess at one.
