Assigned:2023-05-08
Published:2023-05-08
Updated:2023-07-27
Summary:Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a use-after-free flaw in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests. By sending a specially crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges as root.
