NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream conntrack-tools package and not the conntrack-tools package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

conntrackd in conntrack-tools 1.4.2 and earlier does not ensure that the optional kernel modules are loaded before using them, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a (1) DCCP, (2) SCTP, or (3) ICMPv6 packet.
