NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools package and not the kernel-tools 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 Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The nfnl_osf_add_callback function did not validate the user mode controlled opt_num field. This flaw allows a local privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN) attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to a crash or information disclosure.
