CVE-2023-5178: cve-details
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in drivers/nvme/target/tcp.cin
nvmet_tcp_free_crypto` due to a logical bug in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. This issue may allow a malicious user to cause a use-after-free and double-free problem, which may permit remote code execution or lead to local privilege escalation in case that the attacker already has local privileges.
