Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_conntrack_helper: pass
helper to expect cleanup nf_conntrack_helper_unregister() calls nf_ct_expect_iterate_destroy() to remove
expectations belonging to the helper being unregistered. However, it passes NULL instead of the helper
pointer as the data argument, so expect_iter_me() never matches any expectation and all of them survive
the cleanup. After unregister returns, nfnl_cthelper_del() frees the helper object immediately. Subsequent
expectation dumps or packet-driven init_conntrack() calls then dereference the freed exp->helper, causing
a use-after-free. Pass the actual helper pointer so expectations referencing it are properly destroyed
before the helper object is freed. BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in string+0x38f/0x430 Read of size 1 at
addr ffff888003b14d20 by task poc/103 Call Trace: string+0x38f/0x430 vsnprintf+0x3cc/0x1170
