CVE-2026-43233 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Linux kernel's nf_conntrack_h323 helper. In decode_choice(), a boundary check incorrectly uses len while it remains zero from initialization. When the PER bitstream is fully consumed, this check permits get_len() to read one byte beyond the heap buffer, and a second byte if the first byte has bit 7 set. A crafted Q.931 SETUP message processed by a firewall with the helper active can remotely trigger the invalid read. AddressSanitizer confirmed the one- to two-byte heap-buffer overread.
