CVE-2023-52610

A memory leak flaw and potential kernel crash were found in the Linux kernel’s Conntrack module. This issue occurs when Conntrack is being used by a local user for a specific configuration, and both fragmented packets are received remotely and out of order. This flaw allows a local or remote user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

Mitigation

To mitigate this issue, prevent the Conntrack module from being loaded. Please see <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278&gt; for information on how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
