How to fix?

Upgrade torvalds/linux to version 5.10.258, 5.15.209, 6.1.175, 6.6.141, 6.12.91, 6.18.33, 7.0.10 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure in the tcf_ct_flow_table_get process. An attacker can achieve privilege escalation, arbitrary memory read, memory corruption, or denial of service by exploiting a race condition between the lookup and reference count increment of a flow table object, which can result in use-after-free of kernel memory. This is only exploitable if an attacker has CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges and can perform concurrent netlink operations on actions sharing the same zone.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
