CVE-2026-23455

Summary

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

netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: check for zero length in DecodeQ931()

In DecodeQ931(), the UserUserIE code path reads a 16-bit length from the packet, then decrements it by 1 to skip the protocol discriminator byte before passing it to DecodeH323_UserInformation(). If the encoded length is 0, the decrement wraps to -1, which is then passed as a large value to the decoder, leading to an out-of-bounds read.

Add a check to ensure len is positive after the decrement.
