What is CVE-2026-23010?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's handling of IPv6 addresses allows for a use-after-free condition when managing temporary IPv6 addresses. The issue arises during the execution of the inet6_addr_del() function, where a misplaced function call leads to accessing freed memory, potentially compromising system stability and security. Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest kernel version to mitigate this issue.
