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

netfilter: nft_tunnel: fix geneve_opt type confusion addition

When handling multiple NFTA_TUNNEL_KEY_OPTS_GENEVE attributes, the
parsing logic should place every geneve_opt structure one by one
compactly. Hence, when deciding the next geneve_opt position, the
pointer addition should be in units of char *.

However, the current implementation erroneously does type conversion
before the addition, which will lead to heap out-of-bounds write.
