CVE-2024-36286

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter component, specifically within the nfnetlink_queue module. A local attacker with low privileges could trigger a race condition by calling nf_reinject() without the required rcu_read_lock() in the instance_destroy_rcu() function. This could lead to suspicious RCU (Read-Copy-Update) usage, potentially resulting in memory corruption and a denial of service (DoS).
