GHSA-FFM7-9F73-PVMF
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-24 09:30 – Updated: 2026-09-08 09:35In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_queue: hold bridge skb->dev while queued
br_pass_frame_up() rewrites skb->dev from the ingress port to the bridge master before queueing bridge LOCAL_IN packets. NFQUEUE only holds references on state.in/out and bridge physdevs, so a queued bridge packet can retain a freed bridge master in skb->dev until reinjection.
When the verdict is reinjected later, br_netif_receive_skb() re-enters the receive path with skb->dev still pointing at the freed bridge master, triggering a use-after-free.
Store skb->dev in the queue entry, hold a reference on it for the queue lifetime, and use the saved device when dropping queued packets during NETDEV_DOWN handling.
