Summary

In the Linux kernel, the netfilter ebtables module introduces a two-stage removal scheme to prevent a race condition during table operation assignment. The table->ops assignment is now performed while holding the ebt mutex, avoiding exposure of a partially filled table structure.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability could lead to memory corruption or kernel panic due to a race condition when modifying ebtables rules, threatening system stability and security.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing this fix (the commit with the solution). Monitor distributions for the patch and apply it urgently.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: ebtables: move to two-stage removal scheme Like previous patches for x_tables, follow same pattern in ebtables. We can't reuse xt helpers: ebt_table struct layout is incompatible. table->ops assignment is now done while still holding the ebt mutex to make sure we never expose partially-filled table struct.
