We just published a full N-day reproduction and analysis of #CVE-2026-23111, a #Linux kernel vulnerability affecting nf_tables. This bug comes from an inverted condition in the reactivation path of catch-all map elements, leading to a use-after-free that we leveraged to achieve local privilege escalation. In this write-up, we go beyond the CVE description: - An analysis of the patch to find the vulnerable code path - A dive into nftables internals to fully understand the bug - Our full exploit path which leads to local privilege escalation on a production kernel Reproducing real-world vulnerabilities is still one of the most effective ways to truly understand them and to build better detection, fuzzing strategies, and exploit mitigations. If you're working on: - kernel security - fuzzing / vuln research - or exploit development this one is worth a read. Blogpost made by to Lyes BOURENNANI and Alexis Pinson link in comment
