Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-27020
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a potential data-race in the ` nft expr type get()` function, which can occur when `nft unregister expr()` is called concurrently. This may lead to a data-race condition when iterating over the `nf tables expressions` list. To address this, the function now uses `list for each entry rcu()` to iterate over the list and `rcu read lock()` in the caller `nft expr type get()` to protect the type query process. The vulnerability may impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
