CVE-2026-64413

Vulnerability Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: ebtables: zero chainstack array

sashiko reports:
looking at ebtables table
translation, could a sparse cpu_possible_mask lead to an uninitialized pointer
free?

If cpu_possible_mask is sparse (for example, CPU 0 and CPU 2 are possible,
but CPU 1 is not), the allocation loop skips CPU 1. If vmalloc_node() fails at
CPU 2, the cleanup loop will blindly decrement and call vfree() on
newinfo->chainstack[1].

Not a real-world bug, such allocation isn't expected to fail
in the first place.
