CVE-2023-53492
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: do not ignore genmask when looking up chain by id
When adding a rule to a chain referring to its ID, if that chain had been deleted on the same batch, the rule might end up referring to a deleted chain.
This will lead to a WARNING like following:
This is due to the nft_chain_lookup_byid ignoring the genmask. After this change, adding the new rule will fail as it will not find the chain.
