DescriptionCVE.org

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

netfilter: ebtables: zero chainstack array

sashiko reports: looking at ebtables table translation, could a sparse cpu_possible_mask lead to an uninitialized pointer free?

If cpu_possible_mask is sparse (for example, CPU 0 and CPU 2 are possible, but CPU 1 is not), the allocation loop skips CPU 1. If vmalloc_node() fails at CPU 2, the cleanup loop will blindly decrement and call vfree() on newinfo->chainstack[1].

Not a real-world bug, such allocation isn't expected to fail in the first place.

AnalysisAI

Memory corruption in the Linux kernel's netfilter ebtables module can occur from an uninitialized pointer free during chainstack array cleanup. The flaw is triggered only under rare, non-default conditions—a sparse CPU possible mask and a failed memory allocation—making real-world exploitation extremely unlikely. No active exploitation or public exploit is known.
