      <title>CVE-2026-46098 — net: caif: clear client service pointer on teardown</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-46098</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net: caif: clear client service pointer on teardown&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`caif_connect()` can tear down an existing client after remote shutdown by
calling `caif_disconnect_client()` followed by `caif_free_client()`.
`caif_free_client()` releases the service layer referenced by
`adap_layer-&amp;gt;dn`, but leaves that pointer stale.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the socket is later destroyed, `caif_sock_destructor()` calls
`caif_free_client()` again and dereferences the freed service pointer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clear the client/service links before releasing the service object so
repeated teardown becomes harmless.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
