Improper Access Control Affecting kernel-cross-headers package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-cross-headers package and not the kernel-cross-headers package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

netfilter: nf_tables: prevent nf_skb_duplicated corruption

syzbot found that nf_dup_ipv4() or nf_dup_ipv6() could write per-cpu variable nf_skb_duplicated in an unsafe way [1].

Disabling preemption as hinted by the splat is not enough, we have to disable soft interrupts as well.
