Details

An out-of-bounds access vulnerability involving netfilter was reported and fixed as: f1082dd31fe4 (netfilter: nftables: Reject tables of unsupported family); While creating a new netfilter table, lack of a safeguard against invalid nftables family (pf) values within nf_tables_newtable function enables an attacker to achieve out-of-bounds access.
