Subject: [PATCH net 04/10] netfilter: x_tables: guard option walkers against 1-byte tail reads
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 22:08:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309210845.15657-5-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309210845.15657-1-fw@strlen.de>
From: David Dull <monderasdor@gmail.com>
When the last byte of options is a non-single-byte option kind, walkers
that advance with i += op[i + 1] ? : 1 can read op[i + 1] past the end
of the option area.
Add an explicit i == optlen - 1 check before dereferencing op[i + 1]
in xt_tcpudp and xt_dccp option walkers.
Fixes: 2e4e6a17af35 ("[NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tables")
