CVE-2025-21958

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

Revert "openvswitch: switch to per-action label counting in conntrack"

Currently, ovs_ct_set_labels() is only called for confirmed conntrack
entries (ct) within ovs_ct_commit(). However, if the conntrack entry
does not have the labels_ext extension, attempting to allocate it in
ovs_ct_get_conn_labels() for a confirmed entry triggers a warning in
nf_ct_ext_add():

  WARN_ON(nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct));

This happens when the conntrack entry is created externally before OVS
increments net->ct.labels_used. The issue has become more likely since
commit fcb1aa5163b1 ("openvswitch: switch to per-action label counting
in conntrack"), which changed to use per-action label counting and
increment net->ct.labels_used when a flow with ct action is added.

Since there’s no straightforward way to fully resolve this issue at the
moment, this reverts the commit to avoid breaking existing use cases.
