| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter component, specifically within `nf_conntrack`. When Network Address Translation (NAT) helpers are unregistered, a pending expectation can retain a pointer to freed module memory. If a connection matching this expectation arrives after the module is unloaded, the system may attempt to execute code from the freed memory, leading to a system crash (Denial of Service). Exploitation of this vulnerability requires specific privileges to unload NAT helper modules.
