CVE-2026-90062

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem, specifically within the nf_tables component. This vulnerability occurs because the hardware offload step for network filtering rules is performed before the complete set of rules (chain blob) is built. This timing issue can lead to an inconsistent state where the rules enforced by the network interface card (NIC) differ from the software-defined rules. Such an inconsistency could potentially allow for unexpected network behavior or a bypass of security policies.
