Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-08 15:01:29 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: Fix for duplicate device in netdev hooks

When handling NETDEV_REGISTER notification, duplicate device
registration must be avoided since the device may have been added by
nft_netdev_hook_alloc() already when creating the hook.
