Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: check for zero length in DecodeQ931()<br />
<br />
In DecodeQ931(), the UserUserIE code path reads a 16-bit length from<br />
the packet, then decrements it by 1 to skip the protocol discriminator<br />
byte before passing it to DecodeH323_UserInformation(). If the encoded<br />
length is 0, the decrement wraps to -1, which is then passed as a<br />
large value to the decoder, leading to an out-of-bounds read.<br />
<br />
Add a check to ensure len is positive after the decrement.
