"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfilter: nf_conntrack: use get_unaligned_be32() in tcp_sack()\n\nThe timestamp-only fast path dereferences the option stream as\n*(__be32 *)ptr, which assumes 4-byte alignment that the TCP option\nstream does not guarantee. Use get_unaligned_be32() instead, which\nreads the value safely and already returns host byte order, so the\nhtonl() on the comparison constant can be dropped.\n\nThis matches the existing get_unaligned_be32() use later in the same\nfunction."

"value": "AV:N - ipv4_conntrack_in() on NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING calls nf_conntrack_in()→nf_conntrack_tcp_packet()→tcp_in_window()→tcp_sack(); the *(__be32 *)ptr load reads the first four option bytes of a received TCP segment (doff=8, 12-byte NOP-NOP-TIMESTAMP block) that the remote peer put on the wire.\nAC:L - Default tcp_loose=1 makes tcp_new() set IP_CT_TCP_FLAG_SACK_PERM on both directions for a non-SYN ACK, so one attacker TCP ACK with doff=8 (length==TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_ALIGNED) reaches tcp_sack()'s timestamp fast path; on strict-alignment NAT/PPPoE paths where those options are 2-mod-4, *(__be32 *)ptr faults with no race.\nPR:N - ipv4_conntrack_in()/ipv6_conntrack_in() run in NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING; tcp_error() only checks header length, flags, and checksum before nf_conntrack_tcp_packet() reaches tcp_sack(), with no socket, credentials, or TCP-handshake authentication.\nUI:N - The PRE_ROUTING conntrack hook invokes tcp_sack() from softirq on the attacker's own TCP segment; no victim must mount media, open a file, or take any other interactive action.\nS:U - An alignment fault in tcp_sack() oopses the same host kernel that is conntracking the TCP flow; it does not cross a VM, guest-to-host, IOMMU, or other security authority.\nC:N - The timestamp fast path loads four in-bounds bytes of the packet's own TCP option stream after skb_header_pointer(..., length==12, ...); it is not an OOB or UAF read, and a strict-alignment fault discloses nothing beyond those attacker-supplied bytes.\nI:N - tcp_sack()'s defect is a read-only *(__be32 *)ptr of the option bytes; it does not write conntrack state or adjacent objects, and the fix only replaces that load with get_unaligned_be32().\nA:H - On SPARC, MIPS, and pre-v6 ARM (typical OpenWrt/CPE NAT boxes), the misaligned __be32 load in tcp_sack() raises a kernel alignment exception/oops/panic in netfilter softirq, fully denying host availability and repeatable by resending the segment."
