CVE-2021-43389 is an array-index-out-of-bounds flaw in the Linux kernel CAPI ISDN subsystem, in detach_capi_ctr() within drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c. In kernels before 5.14.15, detaching a registered CAPI controller that has not yet been attached can cause invalid array indexing. CVE-2021-3896 was rejected as a duplicate; CVE-2021-43389 is the valid identifier.
