CVE-2026-74695
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_flow_table: drop existing skb dst before skb_dst_set_noref()
Incoming skbs passing through netfilter flowtable offload hooks (or XFRM offload path) might already carry a ref-counted dst_entry assigned during earlier RX or routing steps.
Calling skb_dst_set_noref() when skb already holds a ref-counted dst overwrites skb->_skb_refdst, leaking the previous dst_entry reference count and triggering a DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE assertion in skb_dst_check_unset():
Drop any existing dst_entry reference with skb_dst_drop(skb) before setting the non-referenced flowtable destination.
