CVE-2026-64077: netfilter: ebtables: move to two-stage removal scheme
Published Jul 19, 2026
·Updated
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ebtables: move to two-stage removal scheme
Like previous patches for xtables, follow same pattern in ebtables. We can't reuse xt helpers: ebttable struct layout is incompatible.
table->ops assignment is now done while still holding the ebt mutex to make sure we never expose partially-filled table struct.

Remediation
Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.
- Compensating control
Update ebtables to use a two-stage removal scheme and assign table->ops while holding the ebt mutex, preventing exposure of a partially filled table struct.
