Summary
CVE-2023-6817 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.35.1-5
Details

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

The function nft_pipapo_walk did not skip inactive elements during set walk which could lead double deactivations of PIPAPO (Pile Packet Policies) elements, leading to use-after-free.

We recommend upgrading past commit 317eb9685095678f2c9f5a8189de698c5354316a.
