CVE-2026-72256
No CVSS score yet. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_cluster: reject template conntracks in hash match
xt_cluster_mt() treats any non-NULL nf_ct_get() result as a fully
initialized conntrack and passes it to xt_cluster_hash().
This causes a state confusion bug when the raw table CT target attaches
a template conntrack to skb->_nfct before normal conntrack processing.
Templates carry IPS_TEMPLATE status but do not have a valid tuple for
hashing yet, so xt_cluster_hash() can hit its WARN_ON() path on the
zeroed l3num field.
Reject template conntracks before hashing them. This matches existing
netfilter handling for template objects and avoids hashing incomplete
conntrack state.
