CVE-2026-98028

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Netronome Flow Processor (NFP) network driver. When replacing an existing flow steering rule fails during hardware reprogramming, the driver fails to remove the old rule from its internal list, creating an inconsistency with the active rule counter. A local user with network administration privileges could trigger this condition, causing subsequent flow rule queries to fail permanently or potentially resulting in memory corruption. This issue primarily leads to a Denial of Service (DoS) for network management operations.
