Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net/sched: act_ct: fix skb leak and crash on ooo frags<br />
<br />
act_ct adds skb->users before defragmentation. If frags arrive in order,<br />
the last frag&#39;s reference is reset in:<br />
<br />
inet_frag_reasm_prepare<br />
skb_morph<br />
<br />
which is not straightforward.<br />
<br />
However when frags arrive out of order, nobody unref the last frag, and<br />
all frags are leaked. The situation is even worse, as initiating packet<br />
capture can lead to a crash[0] when skb has been cloned and shared at the<br />
same time.<br />
<br />
Fix the issue by removing skb_get() before defragmentation. act_ct<br />
returns TC_ACT_CONSUMED when defrag failed or in progress.<br />
