Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74660)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the ebt_nflog netfilter target when processing packets that match an ebtables nflog rule during concurrent unloading of the nfnetlink_log module. A local user can trigger packet logging through a crafted ebtables nflog rule to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation requires a race with module teardown while an ebtables nflog rule remains callable.
