Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter synproxy module. When handling TCP timestamp options, a stale pointer can be used after memory reallocation. This can result in memory corruption, where data is written to a freed memory area, or lead to packets being sent with an incorrect checksum. A remote attacker could potentially exploit this to cause system instability or network communication issues.
