CVE-2022-2526

Public on 2022-09-09
Modified on 2022-09-26
Description

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in systemd. This issue occurs due to the on_stream_io() function and dns_stream_complete() function in resolved-dns-stream.c not incrementing the reference counting for the
DnsStream object. Therefore, other functions and callbacks called can dereference the DNSStream object, causing the use-after-free when the reference is still used later.
