Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: vertexcom: mse102x: Fix possible double free of TX skb

The scope of the TX skb is wider than just mse102x_tx_frame_spi(),
so in case the TX skb room needs to be expanded, we should free the
the temporary skb instead of the original skb. Otherwise the original
TX skb pointer would be freed again in mse102x_tx_work(), which leads
to crashes:

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
