UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64006: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel packages are identified as affected?

The listed affected software includes ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-realtime, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-azure-fde, ubuntu/linux-gke, ubuntu/linux-riscv, and ubuntu/linux-gkeop.

Q: What conditions are required to trigger the flaw?

The issue occurs when nf_tables shift operations use the same source and destination register location. In that case, a loop iteration can overwrite the source value before using the original value to calculate carry data for the next iteration.

Q: Are partially overlapping source and destination registers accepted?

The fix rejects partial overlap from the control plane for all operation types, including byteorder operations. This prevents partially overlapping register use from being configured.

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nftables: fix dst corruption in same register operation For lshift and rshift, the shift operations are performed in a loop over 32-bit words. The loop calculates the shifted value and write it to dst, and then immediately reads from src to calculate the carry for the next iteration. Because src and dst could point to the same memory location, the carry is incorrectly calculated using the newly modified dst value instead of the original src value. Adding a temporary local variable to cache the original value before writing to dst and using it for the carry calculation solves the problem. In addition, partial overlap is rejected from control plane for all kind of operations including byteorder. This was tested with the following bytecode: table testtable ip flags 0 use 1 handle 1 ip testtable testchain use 3 type filter hook input prio 0 policy accept packets 0 bytes 0 flags 1 ip testtable testchain 2 [ immediate reg 1 0x44332211 0x88776655 ] [ bitwise reg 1 = ( reg 1 << 0x08000000 ) ] [ cmp eq reg 1 0x66443322 0x00887766 ] [ counter pkts 0 bytes 0 ] ip testtable testchain 4 3 [ immediate reg 1 0x44332211 0x88776655 ] [ bitwise reg 1 = ( reg 1 << 0x08000000 ) ] [ cmp eq reg 1 0x55443322 0x00887766 ] [ counter pkts 21794 bytes 1917798 ]
