netfilter: bpf: reject invalid NAT manipulation types PUBLISHED

Description (CNA)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: bpf: reject invalid NAT manipulation types As bpf_ct_set_nat_info() is not validating the NAT manipulation type a wrong value can be passed directly to nf_nat_setup_info(). This triggers the WARN_ON() at nf_nat_setup_info() and if panic_on_warn isn't set, then IPS_SRC_NAT_DONE is set without adding nat_bysource and conntrack cleanup tries to unlink an uninitialized hlist node. Fix this by checking that NAT manipulation type is correct before calling nf_nat_setup_info(). In addition, if the WARN_ON is hit, return NF_DROP instead of continuing with the processing to avoid similar situations in the future.
