CVE-2024-27415 is a race condition in the Linux kernel Netfilter bridge path for multicast or broadcast IP packets. Bridge Netfilter can associate an unconfirmed conntrack entry with a packet before bridge processing creates packet clones. In configurations such as a bridge with a macvlan upper-layer path, clones retain references to the same unconfirmed conntrack entry while normal local-in processing may concurrently confirm the original packet. Conntrack confirmation logic cannot safely handle these cloned packets sharing an unconfirmed entry. The upstream fix explicitly confirms the conntrack entry at LOCAL_IN before upper-layer processing can clone it. This approach disables NAT and conntrack helpers for the affected traffic.
