CVE-2026-53002 is a stack out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel Netfilter conntrack SIP/SDP NAT-processing path. Unsafe sprintf formatting in mangle_content_len() can exceed a stack buffer while processing SIP/SDP content-length data, producing a KASAN-detected write in vsnprintf. The vulnerable call path includes nf_nat_sdp_session(), SDP processing, SIP INVITE processing, and the TCP SIP helper. The upstream correction replaces sprintf with bounded scnprintf operations and enlarges the buffer used by mangle_content_len().
