Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
netfilter: br_netfilter: do not check confirmed bit in br_nf_local_in() after confirm<br />
<br />
When send a broadcast packet to a tap device, which was added to a bridge,<br />
br_nf_local_in() is called to confirm the conntrack. If another conntrack<br />
with the same hash value is added to the hash table, which can be<br />
triggered by a normal packet to a non-bridge device, the below warning<br />
may happen.<br />
<br />

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---<br />
<br />
To solve the hash conflict, nf_ct_resolve_clash() try to merge the<br />
conntracks, and update skb->_nfct. However, br_nf_local_in() still use the<br />
old ct from local variable &#39;nfct&#39; after confirm(), which leads to this<br />
warning.<br />
<br />
If confirm() does not insert the conntrack entry and return NF_DROP, the<br />
warning may also occur. There is no need to reserve the WARN_ON_ONCE, just<br />
remove it.
