NFQUEUE only holds\nreferences on state.in/out and bridge physdevs, so a queued bridge\npacket can retain a freed bridge master in skb->dev until reinjection.\n\nWhen the verdict is reinjected later, br_netif_receive_skb() re-enters\nthe receive path with skb->dev still pointing at the freed bridge master,\ntriggering a use-after-free.\n\nStore skb->dev in the queue entry, hold a reference on it for the queue\nlifetime, and use the saved device when dropping queued packets during\nNETDEV_DOWN handling.","published":"2026-06-24T08:16:21.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T20:18:46.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-416"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00157,"percentile":0.04792,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.16%).
