CVE-2026-23455CVE-2026-23455
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: check for zero length in DecodeQ931()
In DecodeQ931(), the UserUserIE code path reads a 16-bit length from
the packet, then decrements it by 1 to skip the protocol discriminator
byte before passing it to DecodeH323_UserInformation(). If the encoded
length is 0, the decrement wraps to -1, which is then passed as a
large value to the decoder, leading to an out-of-bounds read.
Add a check to ensure len is positive after the decrement.
