CVE-2022-50732 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8192u: Fix use after free in ieee80211_rx() We cannot dereference the "skb" pointer after calling ieee80211_monitor_rx(), because it is a use after free.
A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's staging rtl8192u driver, specifically within the ieee80211_rx function. This issue arises when the 'skb' pointer is dereferenced after the ieee80211_monitor_rx function is called, leading to potential memory access errors.
Users can upgrade to a patched version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. The specific commit containing the fix is available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
