CVE-2023-39189
Kernel: netfilter: nftables out-of-bounds read in nf_osf_match_one()
A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The nfnl_osf_add_callback function did not validate the user mode controlled opt_num field. This flaw allows a local privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN) attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to a crash or information disclosure.
Fixes and workarounds
Workaround
This flaw can be mitigated by preventing the affected Passive OS Fingerprinting match module (`xt_osf`) from being loaded. For instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module, please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278.
