Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_flow_table: drop existing skb dst before skb_dst_set_noref() Incoming skbs passing through netfilter flowtable offload hooks (or XFRM offload path) might already carry a ref-counted dst_entry assigned during earlier RX or routing steps. Calling skb_dst_set_noref() when skb already holds a ref-counted dst overwrites skb->_skb_refdst, leaking the previous dst_entry reference count and triggering a DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE assertion in skb_dst_check_unset(): WARNING: at skb_dst_check_unset include/linux/skbuff.h:1170 WARNING: at skb_dst_set_noref include/linux/skbuff.h:1234 WARNING: at nf_flow_offload_ip_hook+0xf6c/0x2b60 net/netfilter/nf_flow_table_ip.c:864 Drop any existing dst_entry reference with skb_dst_drop(skb) before setting the non-referenced flowtable destination.
