From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

syzbot reported following splat:

While there is no reproducer yet, the syzbot report contains one
interesting bit of information:

 nf_confirm+0x3e7/0x4d0 net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.c:154

This is whats happening:

1. a conntrack entry is about to be confirmed (added to hash table).
2. a clash with existing entry is detected.
3. nf_ct_resolve_clash() puts skb->nfct (the "losing" entry).
4. this entry now has a refcount of 0 and is freed to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU
   kmem cache.

skb->nfct has been replaced by the one found in the hash.
Problem is that nf_conntrack_confirm() uses the old ct:

static inline int nf_conntrack_confirm(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
 struct nf_conn *ct = (struct nf_conn *)skb_nfct(skb);
 int ret = NF_ACCEPT;

  if (ct) {
    if (!nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct))
       ret = __nf_conntrack_confirm(skb);
    if (likely(ret == NF_ACCEPT))
	nf_ct_deliver_cached_events(ct); /* This ct has refcount 0! */
  }
  return ret;
}

As of "netfilter: conntrack: free extension area immediately", we can't
access conntrack extensions in this case.

To fix this, make sure we check the dying bit presence before attempting
to get the eache extension.
