A flaw was found in the Open vSwitch component of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could exploit a use-after-free vulnerability during flow deletion. This occurs due to a race condition where the flow mask is freed prematurely, allowing subsequent operations to access deallocated memory. Successful exploitation of this flaw can lead to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
