The relevant\ncode path assumes the RST is a response to an outgoing SYN, but does not\nvalidate packet direction or ensure that a matching SYN was actually sent\nin the opposite direction.\n\nAs a result, a crafted packet sequence consisting of a SYN followed by an\ninvalid-sequence RST can prematurely terminate an active NAT entry. This\nmakes connection teardown easier than intended.\n\nSo, tighten the state transition logic to ensure that RST-triggered\nCLOSE transitions only occur when the RST is a valid response to a\npreviously observed SYN in the correct direction."}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
