Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter component, specifically within the `nft_set_pipapo` module. The `pipapo_drop()` function performs a stack out-of-bounds read. This occurs when an argument is evaluated at the call site before the function body executes, leading to a read beyond the allocated `rulemap` array. This could potentially lead to information disclosure or system instability.
