Kernel: netfilter: nftables out-of-bounds read in nf_osf_match_one()

Published: 10/9/2023 Last updated: 11/6/2025 Reserved: 7/25/2023

A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The nfnl_osf_add_callback function did not validate the user mode controlled opt_num field. This flaw allows a local privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN) attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to a crash or information disclosure.
