NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debuginfo-common-aarch64 package and not the kernel-debuginfo-common-aarch64 package as distributed by Rocky-Linux. See How to fix? for Rocky-Linux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c:nft_do_chain, which can cause a use-after-free. This issue needs to handle 'return' with proper preconditions, as it can lead to a kernel information leak problem caused by a local, unprivileged attacker.
