xt_IDLETIMER: reject rev0 reuse of ALARM timer labels","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: reject rev0 reuse of ALARM timer labels\n\nIDLETIMER revision 0 rules reuse existing timers by label and always call\nmod_timer() on timer->timer.\n\nIf the label was created first by revision 1 with XT_IDLETIMER_ALARM,\nthe object uses alarm timer semantics and timer->timer is never initialized.\nReusing that object from revision 0 causes mod_timer() on an uninitialized\ntimer_list, triggering debugobjects warnings and possible panic when\npanic_on_warn=1.\n\nFix this by rejecting revision 0 rule insertion when an existing timer with\nthe same label is of ALARM type.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-03-20T08:08:54.918+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T18:35:41.155+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
