Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to an integer underflow in the
nf tables addchain() function, which can lead to a denial of service. The problem occurs because nf tables chain destroy() after nft basechain init() in the error path of nf tables addchain() decrements the counter, and nft basechain init() makes nft is base chain() return true by setting the NFT CHAIN BASE flag. To fix this, the counter should be incremented immediately after returning from nft basechain init().Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
