Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: br_netfilter: do not check confirmed bit in br_nf_local_in() after confirm
When send a broadcast packet to a tap device, which was added to a bridge,
br_nf_local_in() is called to confirm the conntrack. If another conntrack
with the same hash value is added to the hash table, which can be
triggered by a normal packet to a non-bridge device, the below warning
may happen.

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
To solve the hash conflict, nf_ct_resolve_clash() try to merge the
conntracks, and update skb->_nfct. However, br_nf_local_in() still use the
old ct from local variable 'nfct' after confirm(), which leads to this
warning.
If confirm() does not insert the conntrack entry and return NF_DROP, the
warning may also occur. There is no need to reserve the WARN_ON_ONCE, just
remove it.
