CVE-2026-23278 HIGH

Published: 2026-03-20 | Last Modified: 2026-07-04 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: always walk all pending catchall elements During transaction processing we might have more than one catchall element: 1 live catchall element and 1 pending element that is coming as part of the new batch. If the map holding the catchall elements is also going away, its required to toggle all catchall elements and not just the first viable candidate. Otherwise, we get: WARNING: ./include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h:1281 at nft_data_release+0xb7/0xe0 [nf_tables], CPU#2: nft/1404 RIP: 0010:nft_data_release+0xb7/0xe0 [nf_tables] [..] __nft_set_elem_destroy+0x106/0x380 [nf_tables] nf_tables_abort_release+0x348/0x8d0 [nf_tables] nf_tables_abort+0xcf2/0x3ac0 [nf_tables] nfnetlink_rcv_batch+0x9c9/0x20e0 [..]

Additional Descriptions (1)

En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: netfilter: nf_tables: siempre recorrer todos los elementos catchall pendientes Durante el procesamiento de transacciones podríamos tener más de un elemento catchall: 1 elemento catchall activo y 1 elemento pendiente que viene como parte del nuevo lote. Si el mapa que contiene los elementos catchall también va a desaparecer, es necesario alternar todos los elementos catchall y no solo el primer candidato viable. De lo contrario, obtenemos: ADVERTENCIA: ./include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h:1281 en nft_data_release+0xb7/0xe0 [nf_tables], CPU#2: nft/1404 RIP: 0010:nft_data_release+0xb7/0xe0 [nf_tables] [..] __nft_set_elem_destroy+0x106/0x380 [nf_tables] nf_tables_abort_release+0x348/0x8d0 [nf_tables] nf_tables_abort+0xcf2/0x3ac0 [nf_tables] nfnetlink_rcv_batch+0x9c9/0x20e0 [..]
