CVE-2026-53211
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_meta_bridge: fix stale stack leak via IIFHWADDR register
NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR declares its destination register with
len = ETH_ALEN (6 bytes), which the register-init tracking rounds up to
two 32-bit registers (8 bytes). nft_meta_bridge_get_eval() then does
memcpy(dest, br_dev->dev_addr, ETH_ALEN), writing only 6 bytes and
leaving the upper 2 bytes of the second register as uninitialised
nft_do_chain() stack. A downstream load of that register span leaks
those stale bytes to userspace.
Zero the second register before the memcpy so the full declared span is
written.
