Out-of-bounds Read Affecting kernel-rt-debug package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-debug package and not the kernel-rt-debug package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

netfilter: nftables: avoid overflows in nft_hash_buckets()

Number of buckets being stored in 32bit variables, we have to ensure that no overflows occur in nft_hash_buckets()

syzbot injected a size == 0x40000000 and reported:
