CVE-2026-72419CVE-2026-72419
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_nat: avoid invalid nat_net pointer use on failed nf_nat_init()
We ran into below KASAN splat, which is mostly uninteresting, beside
for having nf_nat_register_fn() in the call chain as a cause for the
offending access:
