Recommended response

  1. 1Check inventory. Check lockfiles and deployed manifests for Linux/Linux, Linux/Linux, Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP.
  2. 2Review the reported fix. Update Linux/Linux to f522229c5563b59b4240261e406779bba6754159; Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP to *; Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP to *; Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP to *; Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP to *; Siemens/SIPLUS S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP to *; Siemens/SIPLUS S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP to * if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

Upstream source description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_conncount: Fully initialize struct nf_conncount_tuple in insert_tree() Since commit b36e4523d4d5 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: fix garbage collection confirm race"), `cpu` and `jiffies32` were introduced to the struct nf_conncount_tuple. The commit made nf_conncount_add() initialize `conn->cpu` and `conn->jiffies32` when allocating the struct. In contrast, count_tree() was not changed to initialize them. By commit 34848d5c896e ("netfilter: nf_conncount: Split insert and traversal"), count_tree() was split and the relevant allocation code now resides in insert_tree(). Initialize `conn->cpu` and `conn->jiffies32` in insert_tree().
