Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52912)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in nf_queue when reinjecting queued bridge LOCAL_IN packets. A remote attacker can trigger packet queueing and later reinjection to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because skb->dev can still reference a freed bridge master device while the packet remains queued.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
