Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:34:51 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_dup_netdev: add nf_dev_xmit_recursion*() helpers and use them

Update nft_dup and nft_fwd to use the nf_dev_xmit_recursion() helpers.
This patch also disables BH when transmitting the skb to address a
possible migration to different CPU leading to imbalanced decrementation
of the recursion counters.

This is modeled after Florian Westphal's dev_xmit_recursion*() API
available since commit 97cdcf37b57e ("net: place xmit recursion in
softnet data") according to its current state in the tree.
