Doc Text:
[REJECTED CVE] An issue was identified in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem related to nf_tables. The issue occurs when a positive value, such as NF_ACCEPT, is provided in the upper 16 bits of NF_DROP verdict parameters, which are expected to contain valid errno values (e.g., -EPERM). This improper input handling could lead to memory corruption, potentially allowing attackers to exploit the system.

Comment 12 Alex 2024-06-09 15:13:35 UTC
The result of automatic check (that is developed by Alexander Larkin) for this CVE-2024-26609 is: CHECK	Maybe valid. Check manually. with impact MODERATE (that is approximation based on flags REMOTE INIT NETFILTER UAF IMPROVEONLY  ; these flags parsed automatically based on patche data). Such automatic check happens only for Low/Moderates (and only when not from reporter, but parsing already existing CVE). Highs always checked manually (I check it myself and then we check it again in Remediation team). In rare cases some of the Moderates could be increased to High later.
