resolved:\n\nnetfilter: nfnetlink_queue: fix entry leak in bridge verdict error path\n\nnfqnl_recv_verdict() calls find_dequeue_entry() to remove the queue\nentry from the queue data structures, taking ownership of the entry.\nFor PF_BRIDGE packets, it then calls nfqa_parse_bridge() to parse VLAN\nattributes. If nfqa_parse_bridge() returns an error (e.g. NFQA_VLAN\npresent but NFQA_VLAN_TCI missing), the function returns immediately\nwithout freeing the dequeued entry or its sk_buff.\n\nThis leaks the nf_queue_entry, its associated sk_buff, and all held\nreferences (net_device refcounts, struct net refcount). Repeated\ntriggering exhausts kernel memory.\n\nFix this by dropping the entry via nfqnl_reinject() with NF_DROP verdict\non the error path, consistent with other error handling in this file."}], "lastModified": "2026-06-17T10:49:37.590", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "ECAE2C71-1F96-4C4B-95AA-E231486990AB", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.253", "versionStartIncluding": "4.7"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "20DDB3E9-AABF-4107-ADB0-5362AA067045", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.203", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "2EDC6BAF-B710-4E26-B6AA-D68922EE7B43", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.167", "versionStartIncluding": "5.16"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "C57BB918-DF28-46B3-94F7-144176841267", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.130", "versionStartIncluding": "6.2"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "28D591F5-B196-4CC9-905C-DC80F116E7A8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.78", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "D394AC60-6F28-435F-872A-CCDF384B8331", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.19", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "E825E7C3-FEAC-4FD3-8A81-78D7387948C9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.9", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.0:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "F253B622-8837-4245-BCE5-A7BF8FC76A16"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.0:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "4AE85AD8-4641-4E7C-A2F4-305E2CD9EE64"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.0:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "F666C8D8-6538-46D4-B318-87610DE64C34"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
