CVE-2023-5197

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The issue arises from the addition and removal of rules from chain bindings within the same transaction, leading to use-after-free.

Recommendations Upgrade past commit f15f29fd4779be8a418b66e9d52979bb6d6c2325 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the netfilter: nf tables component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
