Last modified
CVE-2026-64412 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: ebtables: module names must be null-terminated We need to explicitly check the length, else we may pass non-null terminated string to request_module().. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
