Improper Input Validation Affecting kernel-debug package, versions *
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_ct: skip expectations for confirmed conntrack
nft_ct_expect_obj_eval() calls nf_ct_ext_add() for a confirmed conntrack entry. However, nf_ct_ext_add() can only be called for !nf_ct_is_confirmed().

Add the ct helper extension only for unconfirmed conntrack. Skip rule evaluation if the ct helper extension does not exist. Thus, you can only create expectations from the first packet.
It should be possible to remove this limitation by adding a new action to attach a generic ct helper to the first packet. Then, use this ct helper extension from follow up packets to create the ct expectation.
While at it, add a missing check to skip the template conntrack too and remove check for IPCT_UNTRACK which is implicit to !ct.
