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

netfilter: synproxy: fix unaligned memory access in timestamp adjustment

Use get_unaligned_be32() and put_unaligned_be32() to safely read and
write the timestamp fields. This prevents performance degradation due to
unaligned memory access or even a crash on strict alignment
architectures.

This follows the implementation of timestamp parsing in the networking
stack at tcp_parse_options() and synproxy_parse_options().
