Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter component. When a virtual Ethernet (veth) device is released, the associated network namespace (netns) device memory may be prematurely freed. This can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability during the unregistration of netdev hooks. A local attacker with high privileges could exploit this flaw to cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of service.
