CVE: CVE-2024-27018
Published: 2024-05-01
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: br_netfilter: skip conntrack input hook for promisc packets

For historical reasons, when bridge device is in promisc mode, packets
that are directed to the taps follow bridge input hook path. This patch
adds a workaround to reset conntrack for these packets.

Jianbo Liu reports warning splats in their test infrastructure where
cloned packets reach the br_netfilter input hook to confirm the
conntrack object.

Scratch one bit from BR_INPUT_SKB_CB to annotate that this packet has
reached the input hook because it is passed up to the bridge device to
reach the taps.
