FKIE_CVE-2026-53001
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-06-24 17:17 - Updated: 2026-07-14 20:09
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xtables: restrict several matches to inet family
This is a partial revert of:
commit ab4f21e6fb1c ("netfilter: xtables: use NFPROTO_UNSPEC in more extensions")
to allow ipv4 and ipv6 only.
- xt_mac
- xt_owner
- xt_physdev
These extensions are not used by ebtables in userspace.
Moreover, xt_realm is only for ipv4, since dst->tclassid is ipv4
specific.
