CVE-2026-74569

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 iterations 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.
