CVE-2025-21648  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 linux-6.1 to version 6.1.128-1~deb11u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.1 package and not the linux-6.1 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

netfilter: conntrack: clamp maximum hashtable size to INT_MAX

Use INT_MAX as maximum size for the conntrack hashtable. Otherwise, it is possible to hit WARN_ON_ONCE in __kvmalloc_node_noprof() when resizing hashtable because __GFP_NOWARN is unset. See:

0708a0afe291 ("mm: Consider __GFP_NOWARN flag for oversized kvmalloc() calls")

Note: hashtable resize is only possible from init_netns.
