CVE-2026-23274
Linux Kernel vulnerability analysis and mitigation

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: reject rev0 reuse of ALARM timer labels

IDLETIMER revision 0 rules reuse existing timers by label and always call mod_timer() on timer->timer.

If the label was created first by revision 1 with XT_IDLETIMER_ALARM, the object uses alarm timer semantics and timer->timer is never initialized. Reusing that object from revision 0 causes mod_timer() on an uninitialized timer_list, triggering debugobjects warnings and possible panic when panic_on_warn=1.

Fix this by rejecting revision 0 rule insertion when an existing timer with the same label is of ALARM type.
