A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s nftables sub-component due to a race problem between the set GC and transaction in the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system. This flaw is similar to the previous CVE-2023-4244 but for a different part of the source code.

Mitigation

Mitigation for this issue is to skip loading the affected module "nftables" onto the system until we have an available fix. This can be done by a blacklist mechanism and will ensure the driver is not loaded at the boot time.

How do I blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically?
