Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter xt_connmark module. This vulnerability occurs because the CONNMARK target, specifically revision 2, accepts user-controlled shift parameters without proper validation. An attacker with the ability to create netfilter rules could provide a shift_bits value of 32 or more, triggering an undefined-shift bug. This could lead to undefined behavior, potentially causing system instability or a denial of service.
