In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: widen NAT rewrite delta to s32 in sip_help_tcp()

sip_help_tcp() stores the size change of each NAT-rewritten SIP message
in s16 diff and accumulates it in s16 tdiff, but a single message can
grow by more than S16_MAX while the packet stays under the 65535
enlarge_skb() limit: nf_nat_sip() rewrites every matching URI, and a long
Contact list expands the message by tens of kilobytes. diff then wraps,
and "datalen = datalen + diff - msglen" yields a huge unsigned datalen,
so the next iteration's ct_sip_get_header() reads past the linearized skb
tail.

Widen diff, tdiff and the seq_adjust hook to s32. Both are bounded by the
65535 byte packet limit, and the seqadj core is already s32
(nf_ct_seqadj_set() takes s32), so no previously accepted input is
rejected.
