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

    netfilter: nftables: exthdr: fix 4-byte stack OOB write

    If priv->len is a multiple of 4, then dst[len / 4] can write pastthe destination array which leads to     stack corruption.

    This construct is necessary to clean the remainder of the registerin case ->len is NOT a multiple of the     register size, so make itconditional just like nft_payload.c does.

    The bug was added in 4.1 cycle and then copied/inherited whentcp/sctp and ip option support was added.
