CVE-2026-23274

HIGH

Description

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

netfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: reject rev0 reuse of ALARM timer labels

IDLETIMER revision 0 rules reuse existing timers by label and always call
mod_timer() on timer->timer.

If the label was created first by revision 1 with XT_IDLETIMER_ALARM,
the object uses alarm timer semantics and timer->timer is never initialized.
Reusing that object from revision 0 causes mod_timer() on an uninitialized
timer_list, triggering debugobjects warnings and possible panic when
panic_on_warn=1.

Fix this by rejecting revision 0 rule insertion when an existing timer with
the same label is of ALARM type.
