Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> netfilter: nf_conncount: update last_gc only when GC has been performed<br /> <br /> Currently last_gc is being updated everytime a new connection is<br /> tracked, that means that it is updated even if a GC wasn&amp;#39;t performed.<br /> With a sufficiently high packet rate, it is possible to always bypass<br /> the GC, causing the list to grow infinitely.<br /> <br /> Update the last_gc value only when a GC has been actually performed.
