CVE-2024-1086
HIGH7.8⚠ KEVEPSS 85.3%Linux Kernel Use-After-Free Vulnerability
Published: 1/31/2024Modified: 4/28/2026Added to CISA KEV: 5/30/2024
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The nft_verdict_init() function allows positive values as drop error within the hook verdict, and hence the nf_hook_slow() function can cause a double free vulnerability when NF_DROP is issued with a drop error which resembles NF_ACCEPT. We recommend upgrading past commit f342de4e2f33e0e39165d8639387aa6c19dff660.
