cve 2026 64079

The cve 2026 64079 tag covers reporting on a newly published Linux kernel vulnerability in the Netfilter x_tables subsystem. Current coverage explains how a race between firewall-table registration and network-namespace teardown can cause a kernel NULL-pointer dereference. The issue affects infrastructure beneath iptables, ip6tables, and arptables, but it is not described as a remote code-execution flaw, and no NVD severity score is available yet. The practical focus for Windows users is Linux environments running alongside Windows, including WSL 2 distributions, Docker Desktop’s Linux backend, and Kubernetes nodes.
