The vulnerability, which affects Linux kernel versions 5.14 through 6.6, resides in the NF_tables, a kernel component enabling the Netfilter, which in turn facilitates a variety of network operations, including packet filtering, network address [and port] translation (NA[P]T), packet logging, userspace packet queueing, and other packet mangling. It was patched in January, but as the CISA advisory indicates, some production systems have yet to install it.

Now is a good time to:

Debian / Ubuntu: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Fedora / Ultramarine: sudo dnf upgrade

Fedora Immutable / Universal Blue: sudo rpm-ostree upgrade

Arch Linux: sudo pacman -Syu
