Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-05-06 10:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:48

Severity

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: make hash table per queue Sharing a global hash table among all queues is tempting, but it can cause crash: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in nfqnl_recv_verdict+0x11ac/0x15e0 [nfnetlink_queue] [..] nfqnl_recv_verdict+0x11ac/0x15e0 [nfnetlink_queue] nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x46a/0x930 kmem_cache_alloc_node_noprof+0x11e/0x450 struct nf_queue_entry is freed via kfree, but parallel cpu can still encounter such an nf_queue_entry when walking the list. Alternative fix is to free the nf_queue_entry via kfree_rcu() instead, but as we have to alloc/free for each skb this will cause more mem pressure.

A local attacker can set up NFQUEUE state and generate queued packets.\nAC:L - The attacker can control the relevant queues, packet flow, and concurrent verdict submissions, so the race can be exercised repeatedly. Any uncertainty about hash bucket timing is scored as low complexity under the required rule.\nPR:L - NFNETLINK receive requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the target network namespace. Netfilter is reachable from unprivileged users through user and network namespaces, so this is low privileges rather than high.\nUI:N - No victim action is required after the attacker runs local code. The attacker can create the queue setup, send packets, and issue verdicts directly.\nS:U - The vulnerability corrupts kernel memory within the same kernel security authority. It is a standard local kernel privilege escalation/DoS scenario, not a cross-scope escape.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free of struct nf_queue_entry during rhashtable lookup, and reclaimed object contents can be exposed or steered by heap manipulation. Per kernel scoring guidance, UAF memory corruption supports high confidentiality impact.\nI:H - The stale nf_queue_entry can be acted on after lookup, including removal/list operations and later reinjection logic, giving plausible kernel memory corruption primitives. Per kernel scoring guidance, UAFs are high integrity impact.\nA:H - The fix cites a KASAN slab-use-after-free crash in nfqnl_recv_verdict, and the bug can crash the kernel. Kernel oops/panic availability impact is high."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
