The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the nfnl_osf_add_callback() function in Linux kernel Netfilter. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
