NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-livepatch-devel package and not the kernel-default-livepatch-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.2 allows observation of changes in any net namespace because these changes are leaked into all other net namespaces. This is related to the NF_SYSCTL_CT_MAX, NF_SYSCTL_CT_EXPECT_MAX, and NF_SYSCTL_CT_BUCKETS sysctls.
