Linux Netfilter/IPTables IP Queuing Arbitrary Network Traffic Reading Vulnerability

IPTables and Netfilter are the firewall infrastructure developed for the Linux kernel.

The IP Queuing module requires a privileged process to communicate with user space to handle the queuing of network traffic on the local host. Insufficient checking of the integrity of the privileged process is performed. This could lead to a local user gaining access to information meant for the privileged process.
