**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 5.8.8 **Description** The issue allows local attackers to inject conntrack netlink configuration, potentially overflowing a local buffer. This can cause system crashes or result in the use of incorrect protocol numbers in the `ctnetlink parse tuple filter` function located in `net/netfilter/nf conntrack netlink.c`. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.8.8, update to version 5.8.8 or later to resolve the issue.
