"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfilter: nf_dup_netdev: add nf_dev_xmit_recursion*() helpers and use them\n\nUpdate nft_dup and nft_fwd to use the nf_dev_xmit_recursion() helpers.\nThis patch also disables BH when transmitting the skb to address a\npossible migration to different CPU leading to imbalanced decrementation\nof the recursion counters.\n\nThis is modeled after Florian Westphal's dev_xmit_recursion*() API\navailable since commit 97cdcf37b57e (\"net: place xmit recursion in\nsoftnet data\") according to its current state in the tree."

"value": "AV:L - The flaw is reached through nftables netdev fwd/dup evaluation on NF_NETDEV ingress/egress hooks installed via nfnetlink; kernel CNA guidance treats netfilter/nftables configuration and packet-hook paths as Local even when traffic ultimately arrives from the network.\nAC:L - An attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN can deterministically install netdev egress/ingress fwd or dup rules that loop (same device or mutual forwarding) and drive packets through them; concurrent traffic also lets the attacker influence CPU migration that desynchronizes the per-CPU recursion counter without uncontrollable races.\nPR:L - Installing netdev nftables fwd/dup rules requires CAP_NET_ADMIN via nfnetlink (netlink_net_capable), but that capability is routinely obtainable in an unprivileged-created user+network namespace (unshare -Urn) and is commonly delegated to containers with NET_ADMIN.\nUI:N - Exploitation needs only the attacker's own nftables/netlink setup and packet injection; no victim must mount filesystems, open files, click prompts, or perform any deliberate interactive action beyond ordinary traffic delivery.\nS:U - Impact is unbounded kernel-stack recursion and crash/panic within the same kernel security domain; it does not cross a VM, container, IOMMU, or other distinct security-authority boundary such as guest-to-host escape.\nC:H - Bypassing the nf_dup_skb_recursion limit allows unbounded nf_hook_egress/ingress re-entry that corrupts kernel stack frames before the guard page; such stack corruption can disclose adjacent kernel memory and is not a pure NULL-deref crash with no data exposure.\nI:H - Unbounded recursion overflows the kernel task stack and overwrites saved return addresses/control data on the stack, providing a standard path to arbitrary kernel writes and control-flow hijack rather than a bounded or crash-only integrity effect.\nA:H - When the per-CPU recursion counter is desynchronized by CPU migration without local_bh_disable(), fwd/dup netdev rules can recurse without bound through neigh_xmit/dev_queue_xmit and nf_hook_egress, exhausting the kernel stack and causing oops/panic."
