Local service interruption via internal flag comparison
Published May 1, 2024 · Updated May 23, 2026
Improper input validation in Linux kernel nf_tables allows local users to interrupt service through crafted table flag updates. nf_tables_updtable compares user-visible flags with a table value that also contains internal flags, so an unchanged update is processed instead of skipped. Low-privileged local access is required; published material limits the impact to availability but does not disclose the final failure path.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=V3.1.0 <V3.1.5
