DescriptionCVE.org

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

netfilter: nf_tables: use list_del_rcu for netlink hooks

nft_netdev_unregister_hooks and __nft_unregister_flowtable_net_hooks need to use list_del_rcu(), this list can be walked by concurrent dumpers.

Add a new helper and use it consistently.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation potential exists in the Linux kernel's netfilter nf_tables subsystem where netlink hook unregistration functions failed to use RCU-safe list removal while concurrent dumpers walked the same list. Affected paths are nft_netdev_unregister_hooks and __nft_unregister_flowtable_net_hooks, which previously used non-RCU list_del semantics and could race with readers, leading to memory corruption or use-after-free conditions on systems exposing nftables. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates real-world exploitation likelihood at 0.02%.

Technical ContextAI

The bug lives in the Linux kernel netfilter framework (net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c), which implements the nftables packet-filtering and flowtable infrastructure exposed to userspace via the netlink NFNL_SUBSYS_NFTABLES interface. Hook chains for netdev families and flowtables are kept in linked lists that can be traversed concurrently by netlink dumpers under RCU read-side locks; modifying these lists with plain list_del rather than list_del_rcu breaks the RCU contract and creates a torn-list / use-after-free race. The CWE field is not assigned in the provided data, but the defect class is a concurrency / RCU list-management bug (akin to CWE-416 / CWE-362). The CPE strings cpe:2.3:a:linux:linux:*:*:* identify the upstream Linux kernel, and the EUVD version list confirms the regression spans LTS branches including 4.19.316, 5.4.262, 5.10.198, 5.15.45, 5.17.13, 5.18.2, and 5.19 through to fixes in 6.18.33, 7.0.10 and 7.1-rc2.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Linux stable 6.18.33, 7.0.10, and mainline 7.1-rc2 - upgrade to the fixed kernel for your distribution's branch and reboot, or apply backports of the upstream commits 0bd93ce4f3c3, 0f33e8ad6ac5, and f3224ee463f8 referenced at https://git.kernel.org/stable/. If patching must be deferred, the practical compensating control is to prevent untrusted local users from issuing nftables/netlink configuration changes: restrict CAP_NET_ADMIN inside user namespaces by setting kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0 (or sysctl user.max_user_namespaces=0) and tighten seccomp/LSM policy on container runtimes so unprivileged workloads cannot reach the nf_tables netlink family - note this will break rootless containers and tools like podman/buildah that depend on user namespaces, and is not a substitute for the kernel update. Distribution advisories (RHSA, USN, DSA) should be checked once published.
