flowtable: generalize pending status bit","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfilter: flowtable: generalize pending status bit\n\nRename NF_FLOW_HW_PENDING to NF_FLOW_PENDING and use it to inhibit the\nflowtable GC worker until pending hw offload work has been completed.\n\nApparently, nf_flow_offload_stats() can schedule work to retrieve stats\nwhile the flow is being removed by GC.\n\nAnd this bit can also be used in a follow up patch to disable GC until\nthe flow has been fully added in both directions.\n\nRevert the reordering done in commit d644b23afe1e (\"netfilter:\nflowtable: publish HW_DEAD after worker is done\") to prevent a race\nbetween GC and hw offload handler.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-18T15:48:31.098+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-21T12:57:01.669+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
