      <title>CVE-2026-98792 — netfilter: flowtable: generalize pending status bit</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98792</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;netfilter: flowtable: generalize pending status bit&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rename NF_FLOW_HW_PENDING to NF_FLOW_PENDING and use it to inhibit the
flowtable GC worker until pending hw offload work has been completed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apparently, nf_flow_offload_stats() can schedule work to retrieve stats
while the flow is being removed by GC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And this bit can also be used in a follow up patch to disable GC until
the flow has been fully added in both directions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Revert the reordering done in commit d644b23afe1e (&amp;#34;netfilter:
flowtable: publish HW_DEAD after worker is done&amp;#34;) to prevent a race
between GC and hw offload handler.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
