Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter x_tables component. This vulnerability allows for information disclosure due to improper handling of percpu counter pointers during the copying of rule entry headers to userspace. A local attacker could exploit this by causing a fault in a userspace buffer, leading to the exposure of internal kernel memory addresses.
