1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90053)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/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 an infinite loop in the HTB packet classifier htb_classify() when processing packets with cyclic inner-class filter selections. A local user can configure cyclic HTB filters and send a packet to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation is reachable through an unprivileged user namespace that provides CAP_NET_ADMIN.
