CVE-2026-23392 HIGH

Published: 2026-03-25 | Last Modified: 2026-07-14 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: release flowtable after rcu grace period on error Call synchronize_rcu() after unregistering the hooks from error path, since a hook that already refers to this flowtable can be already registered, exposing this flowtable to packet path and nfnetlink_hook control plane. This error path is rare, it should only happen by reaching the maximum number hooks or by failing to set up to hardware offload, just call synchronize_rcu(). There is a check for already used device hooks by different flowtable that could result in EEXIST at this late stage. The hook parser can be updated to perform this check earlier to this error path really becomes rarely exercised. Uncovered by KASAN reported as use-after-free from nfnetlink_hook path when dumping hooks.

En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: netfilter: nf_tables: liberar la tabla de flujos después del período de gracia de RCU en caso de error Llamar a synchronize_rcu() después de desregistrar los hooks de la ruta de error, ya que un hook que ya se refiere a esta tabla de flujos puede estar ya registrado, exponiendo esta tabla de flujos a la ruta de paquetes y al plano de control de nfnetlink_hook. Esta ruta de error es rara, solo debería ocurrir al alcanzar el número máximo de hooks o al fallar la configuración para la descarga de hardware; simplemente llamar a synchronize_rcu(). Existe una comprobación para hooks de dispositivo ya utilizados por una tabla de flujos diferente que podría resultar en EEXIST en esta etapa tardía. El analizador de hooks puede ser actualizado para realizar esta comprobación antes, para que esta ruta de error realmente se ejercite raramente. Descubierto por KASAN, reportado como uso después de liberación desde la ruta de nfnetlink_hook al volcar los hooks.
