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

netfilter: nft_compat: ebtables emulation must reject non-bridge targets

xtables targets return netfilter verdicts: NF_ACCEPT, NF_DROP, and so on. ebtables targets return incompatible verdicts: EBT_ACCEPT, EBT_DROP, … We cannot allow fallback to NFPROTO_UNSPEC.

ebtables doesnt permit this since 11ff7288beb2 (netfilter: ebtables: reject non-bridge targets) but that commit missed the nft_compat layer.
