AI-suggested
A fix is available and has been released in multiple patched Linux kernel versions including 5.15.0-1065.71 and later. Users should apply these official kernel updates to remediate the issue. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter flowtable component causes incorrect handling of PPPoE traffic. The PPPoE header is expected at the network header offset, but this bug causes a mismatch in flowtable lookups, resulting in PPPoE packets being processed via the classical forwarding path instead of the flowtable. This issue has been resolved in patched kernel versions.
