Summary

In the Linux kernel, in netfilter nf_tables the hardware offload step is performed before building the chain blob. Allocating the chain blob before the ruleset offload reduces the chance of entering an inconsistent state where the offloaded ruleset in the NIC and the software ruleset differ.

Risk Assessment

Inconsistency between the hardware and software rulesets can lead to incorrect traffic filtering or firewall rule gaps. Affects systems using nf_tables hardware offload.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that moves the offload step after building the chain blob. Verify firewall rule consistency after the update.
