Descriptions

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

The nft_verdict_init() function allows positive values as drop error within the hook verdict, and hence the nf_hook_slow() function can cause a double free vulnerability when NF_DROP is issued with a drop error which resembles NF_ACCEPT.

We recommend upgrading past commit f342de4e2f33e0e39165d8639387aa6c19dff660.

Una vulnerabilidad de use after free en el componente netfilter: nf_tables del kernel de Linux puede explotarse para lograr una escalada de privilegios local. La función nft_verdict_init() permite valores positivos como error de eliminación dentro del veredicto del gancho y, por lo tanto, la función nf_hook_slow() puede causar una vulnerabilidad double free cuando NF_DROP se emite con un error de eliminación similar a NF_ACCEPT. Recomendamos actualizar después del compromiso f342de4e2f33e0e39165d8639387aa6c19dff660.

A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. This issue occurs in the nft_verdict_init() function, allowing positive values as a drop error within the hook verdict, therefore, the nf_hook_slow() function can cause a double-free vulnerability when NF_DROP is issued with a drop error that resembles NF_ACCEPT. The nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

Linux kernel contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the netfilter: nf_tables component that allows an attacker to achieve local privilege escalation.
