Kernel stack disclosure via partially initialized nft_fib registers
Published Jun 25, 2026 · Updated Jun 25, 2026
Information disclosure in Linux Kernel nft_fib allows local users to read uninitialized kernel stack data through crafted netfilter rules. NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIFNAME declares a 16-byte destination span, but lookup-failure, RTN_LOCAL, and interface-mismatch paths clear only the first four bytes; the PRESENT check can also store one byte into an oversized span. Low-privileged local access and the ability to evaluate the crafted rule are required, and a downstream expression can expose the stale bytes to userspace without modifying kernel state.

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.
