CVE-2022-20141 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel IPv4 IGMP implementation. Improper resource locking in the ip_check_mc_rcu function permits a race condition while inet sockets using IGMP are opened and closed. The race can cause the kernel to reference memory after it has been freed.
