NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uki-virt package and not the kernel-uki-virt package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

An out-of-bounds access vulnerability involving netfilter was reported and fixed as: f1082dd31fe4 (netfilter: nf_tables: Reject tables of unsupported family); While creating a new netfilter table, lack of a safeguard against invalid nf_tables family (pf) values within nf_tables_newtable function enables an attacker to achieve out-of-bounds access.
