CVE-2026-43024
Published: May 1, 2026· Updated: May 1, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: reject immediate NF_QUEUE verdict
nft_queue is always used from userspace nftables to deliver the NF_QUEUE
verdict. Immediately emitting an NF_QUEUE verdict is never used by the
userspace nft tools, so reject immediate NF_QUEUE verdicts.
The arp family does not provide queue support, but such an immediate
verdict is still reachable. Globally reject NF_QUEUE immediate verdicts
to address this issue.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-43024 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
