UNKNOWN NVD
CVE-2026-98624
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: hold nfnl mutex in event notifier We must serialize the releas
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: hold nfnl mutex in event notifier
We must serialize the release notifier and the config netlink function.
A concurrent thread can issue close() which can call the release function
while unrelated socket processes UNBIND request for same portid:
Oops: general protection fault, [..]
RIP: 0010:__instance_destroy+0x60/0x210 [nfnetlink_queue]
Call Trace:
nfqnl_recv_config+0x9b0/0xdc0 [nfnetlink_queue]
nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x7c2/0xeb0
? __pfx_nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x10/0x10
After this, parallel UNBIND and URELEASE events are impossible.
This change isn't nice, but its the shortest fix given instances
are not refcounted and the nfnetlink config callback drops the
rcu read lock early due to need for sleeping allocations.
