CVE-2026-97608

Estado: RecibidaAlta (7)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_log: unregister loggers before per-net teardown

nf_log_syslog and nfnetlink_log unregister their per-network namespace operations before unregistering their global logger backends. This leaves a window where a sysctl or netlink writer can rebind the still- registered logger after the per-net pre-exit callback cleared the old selection.

The race looks like this:

Later, a sysctl read or packet logging operation can dereference the stale per-net logger pointer.

Fix this by unregistering the global logger backends before tearing down per-net state.

Once the global registrations are gone, later writers can no longer rebind the logger. unregister_pernet_subsys() already waits for an RCU grace period after the pre-exit callback clears the per-net selection, while nf_log_unregister() continues to cover readers of the global logger table.

Apply this ordering fix to both nf_log backends that combine per-net teardown with global logger registration.
