CVE-2024-41040 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel net/sched connection-tracking action path. When conntrack confirmation resolves a connection clash, the conntrack entry can be dropped and freed, but the stale entry may subsequently be passed to the act_ct flow-table processing routine. A read of the freed conntrack-associated object occurs during further traffic-control processing. The upstream fix reacquires the conntrack entry from the socket buffer after conntrack confirmation, preventing use of an entry that may have been discarded during clash resolution.
