Original description The description as published by the source.

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

netfilter: nf_tables: prevent nf_skb_duplicated corruption

syzbot found that nf_dup_ipv4() or nf_dup_ipv6() could write
per-cpu variable nf_skb_duplicated in an unsafe way [1].

Disabling preemption as hinted by the splat is not enough,
we have to disable soft interrupts as well.
