How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 kernel-debug-devel-matched.

NVD Description

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

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

netfilter: xt_cluster: reject template conntracks in hash match

xt_cluster_mt() treats any non-NULL nf_ct_get() result as a fully initialized conntrack and passes it to xt_cluster_hash().

This causes a state confusion bug when the raw table CT target attaches a template conntrack to skb->_nfct before normal conntrack processing. Templates carry IPS_TEMPLATE status but do not have a valid tuple for hashing yet, so xt_cluster_hash() can hit its WARN_ON() path on the zeroed l3num field.

Reject template conntracks before hashing them. This matches existing netfilter handling for template objects and avoids hashing incomplete conntrack state.
