MetricsAV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue is related to a memory leak in the netfilter nf tables module when more than 255 elements expire. This causes the system to recycle the initial gc container structure and lose track of previous elements. The nft trans gc space() function always returns true, preventing the switch to a new gc container structure. This can impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
