Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: flow_dissector: use DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE
The following splat is easy to reproduce upstream as well as in -stable
kernels. Florian Westphal provided the following commit:
d1dab4f71d37 ("net: add and use __skb_get_hash_symmetric_net")
but this complementary fix has been also suggested by Willem de Bruijn
and it can be easily backported to -stable kernel which consists in
using DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE instead to silence the following splat
given __skb_get_hash() is used by the nftables tracing infrastructure to
to identify packets in traces.
