The code\nunconditionally calls iucv_sock_kill(nsk) in that path.\n\niucv_sock_kill() does not accept a NULL socket pointer and immediately\ndereferences sk via sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED). When nsk is NULL,\ncalling iucv_sock_kill(nsk) results in a NULL pointer dereference.\n\nOnly call iucv_sock_kill() when a child socket was successfully\nallocated.","published":"2026-08-10T11:59:05.051Z","modified":"2026-08-14T04:04:00.385833112Z","cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Linux","name":"Kernel","fixedVersion":"6.6.148"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0e857185591fe79934427c9c0c1c31dc776be134"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/33736ff5e7c97d3348ce812e8bd2e125d840743c"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/46453b16f38ec7147351f7447e2aec6ea330f7b3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47a5116e56a6b6fe1e909f244e39cd0fc26ceee4"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8bb111f87ded6acb9837ec9b45d6f02cda94c51f"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/68xxx/CVE-2026-68141.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-68141"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-14T04:04:00.385833112Z"}}
