{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21959","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  netfilter: nf_conncount: Fully initialize struct nf_conncount_tuple in insert_tree()  Since commit b36e4523d4d5 (\"netfilter: nf_conncount: fix garbage collection confirm race\"), `cpu` and `jiffies32` were introduced to the struct nf_conncount_tuple.  The commit made nf_conncount_add() initialize `conn-\u003ecpu` and `conn-\u003ejiffies32` when allocating the struct. In contrast, count_tree() was not changed to initialize them.  By commit 34848d5c896e (\"netfilter: nf_conncount: Split insert and traversal\"), count_tree() was split and the relevant allocation code now resides in insert_tree(). Initialize `conn-\u003ecpu` and `conn-\u003ejiffies32` in insert_tree().
