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

netfilter: conntrack: add missing netlink policy validations

Hyunwoo Kim reports out-of-bounds access in sctp and ctnetlink.

These attributes are used by the kernel without any validation.
Extend the netlink policies accordingly.

Quoting the reporter:
  nlattr_to_sctp() assigns the user-supplied CTA_PROTOINFO_SCTP_STATE
  value directly to ct->proto.sctp.state without checking that it is
  within the valid range. [..]

  and: ... with exp->dir = 100, the access at
  ct->master->tuplehash[100] reads 5600 bytes past the start of a
  320-byte nf_conn object, causing a slab-out-of-bounds read confirmed by
  UBSAN.
