Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: bpf: reject invalid NAT manipulation types
As bpf_ct_set_nat_info() is not validating the NAT manipulation type a
wrong value can be passed directly to nf_nat_setup_info(). This triggers
the WARN_ON() at nf_nat_setup_info() and if panic_on_warn isn't set,
then IPS_SRC_NAT_DONE is set without adding nat_bysource and conntrack
cleanup tries to unlink an uninitialized hlist node.
Fix this by checking that NAT manipulation type is correct before
calling nf_nat_setup_info(). In addition, if the WARN_ON is hit, return
NF_DROP instead of continuing with the processing to avoid similar
situations in the future.
