Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64077

Vulnerability identifier: #VU138558

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64077

CWE-ID: CWE-362

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the ebtables table registration and unregistration logic when handling table initialization and teardown. A local user can trigger ebtables operations to cause a denial of service.

The issue involves exposure of a partially filled table structure and unsafe teardown ordering in the bridge netfilter ebtables subsystem.
