Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: act_ct: fix wild memory access when clearing fragments

while testing re-assembly/re-fragmentation using act_ct, it's possible to
observe a crash like the following one:

when act_ct temporarily stores an IP fragment, restoring the skb qdisc cb
results in putting random data in FRAG_CB(), and this causes those "wild"
memory accesses later, when the rbtree is purged. Never overwrite the skb
cb in case tcf_ct_handle_fragments() returns -EINPROGRESS.
