UBUNTU: SAUCE: [nf,v2] netfilter: x_tables: don't rely on well-behaving userspace
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1555338 Ben Hawkes says: In the mark_source_chains function (net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c) it is possible for a user-supplied ipt_entry structure to have a large next_offset field. This field is not bounds checked prior to writing a counter value at the supplied offset. Problem is that xt_entry_foreach() macro stops iterating once e->next_offset is out of bounds, assuming this is the last entry. With malformed data thats not necessarily the case so we can write outside of allocated area later as we might not have walked the entire blob. Fix this by simplifying mark_source_chains -- it already has to check if nextoff is in range to catch invalid jumps, so just do the check when we move to a next entry as well. Also, check that the offset meets the xtables_entry alignment. Reported-by: Ben Hawkes <hawkes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Chris J.
