The ct may be dropped if a clash has been resolved but is still passed to
the tcf_ct_flow_table_process_conn function for further usage. This issue
can be fixed by retrieving ct from skb again after confirming conntrack.
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the net/sshd tcf_ct_flow_table_process_conn of the Linux kernel. This flaw allows an attacker with a crafted payload to induce a system crash, resulting in a loss of system availability.
