How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:24.04 golang-github-google-nftables.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-github-google-nftables package and not the golang-github-google-nftables package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:24.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

In https://github.com/google/nftables  IP addresses were encoded in the wrong byte order, resulting in an nftables configuration which does not work as intended (might block or not block the desired addresses).

This issue affects:  https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/google/nftables@v0.1.0

The bug was fixed in the next released version:  https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/google/nftables@v0.2.0
