Descriptions

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The netfilter subsystem allows attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) because net/netfilter/x_tables.c and include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h lack a full memory barrier upon the assignment of a new table value, aka CID-175e476b8cdf.

Se ha descubierto un problema en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 5.11.11. El subsistema netfilter permite a los atacantes causar una denegación de servicio (panic) porque net/netfilter/x_tables.c e include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h carecen de una barrera de memoria completa al asignar un nuevo valor de tabla, también conocido como CID-175e476b8cdf.

A denial-of-service (DoS) flaw was identified in the Linux kernel due to an incorrect memory barrier in xt_replace_table in net/netfilter/x_tables.c in the netfilter subsystem.
