CVE-2026-23274 HIGH

Published: 2026-03-20 | Last Modified: 2026-07-14 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: reject rev0 reuse of ALARM timer labels IDLETIMER revision 0 rules reuse existing timers by label and always call mod_timer() on timer->timer. If the label was created first by revision 1 with XT_IDLETIMER_ALARM, the object uses alarm timer semantics and timer->timer is never initialized. Reusing that object from revision 0 causes mod_timer() on an uninitialized timer_list, triggering debugobjects warnings and possible panic when panic_on_warn=1. Fix this by rejecting revision 0 rule insertion when an existing timer with the same label is of ALARM type.

Additional Descriptions (1)

En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: netfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: rechazar la reutilización de rev0 de etiquetas de temporizador ALARM Las reglas de la revisión 0 de IDLETIMER reutilizan temporizadores existentes por etiqueta y siempre llaman a mod_timer() en timer->timer. Si la etiqueta fue creada primero por la revisión 1 con XT_IDLETIMER_ALARM, el objeto utiliza semántica de temporizador de alarma y timer->timer nunca se inicializa. Reutilizar ese objeto de la revisión 0 causa mod_timer() en una timer_list no inicializada, lo que activa advertencias de debugobjects y un posible pánico cuando panic_on_warn=1. Solucione esto rechazando la inserción de reglas de la revisión 0 cuando un temporizador existente con la misma etiqueta es de tipo ALARM.
