    xfrm: add forgotten nla_policy for XFRMA_MTIMER_THRESH · 5e242470
    Lin Ma authored
    The previous commit 4e484b3e ("xfrm: rate limit SA mapping change
    message to user space") added one additional attribute named
    XFRMA_MTIMER_THRESH and described its type at compat_policy
    (net/xfrm/xfrm_compat.c).
    
    However, the author forgot to also describe the nla_policy at
    xfrma_policy (net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c). Hence, this suppose NLA_U32 (4
    bytes) value can be faked as empty (0 bytes) by a malicious user, which
    leads to 4 bytes overflow read and heap information leak when parsing
    nlattrs.
    
    To exploit this, one malicious user can spray the SLUB objects and then
    leverage this 4 bytes OOB read to leak the heap data into
    x->mapping_maxage (see xfrm_update_ae_params(...)), and leak it to
    userspace via copy_to_user_state_extra(...).
    
    The above bug is assigned CVE-2023-3773. To fix it, this commit just
    completes the nla_policy description for XFRMA_MTIMER_THRESH, which
    enforces the length check and avoids such OOB read.
    
    Fixes: 4e484b3e ("xfrm: rate limit SA mapping change message to user space")
