Action Type Old Value New Value Changed Description A race-condition flaw was discovered in the kernel's netlink module creation, which can trigger a kernel panic in netlink_release->module_put for local users creating netlink sockets. The flaw is specific to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and does not affect upstream kernels. The nfnetlink_log module must be loaded before the flaw can occur.
