Kernel warning via inconsistent netfilter hook registration
Published May 19, 2024 · Updated May 23, 2026
Improper input validation in affected Linux kernels allows local users to trigger a warning via a batched nftables configuration. nf_tables_commit disables existing hooks after a dormant-table flag change but misses a new basechain in the same transaction, leaving its hook already unregistered. Local nftables-administration permission is required; the public record shows a warning during cleanup but does not identify a crash or hang.

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.
