Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: fix underflow in chain reference counter
Set element addition error path decrements reference counter on chains
twice: once on element release and again via nft_data_release().
Then, d6b478666ffa ("netfilter: nf_tables: fix underflow in object
reference counter") incorrectly fixed this by removing the stateful
object reference count decrement.
Restore the stateful object decrement as in b91d90368837 ("netfilter:
nf_tables: fix leaking object reference count") and let
nft_data_release() decrement the chain reference counter, so this is
done only once.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter nf_tables component. During set element addition, an error path incorrectly decrements the chain reference counter twice. This reference count underflow could potentially lead to a use-after-free condition when the chain is subsequently freed while still in use.
Отчет
Exploiting this vulnerability requires CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to manipulate nf_tables rules and trigger the specific error path during set element addition. The bug occurs in error handling, meaning normal successful operations are unaffected. The complexity of reliably triggering the use-after-free limits practical exploitability.
