Subject: [PATCH net 02/11] netfilter: conntrack: add missing netlink policy validations
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 16:06:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313150614.21177-3-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313150614.21177-1-fw@strlen.de>

Hyunwoo Kim reports out-of-bounds access in sctp and ctnetlink.

These attributes are used by the kernel without any validation.
Extend the netlink policies accordingly.

Quoting the reporter:
  nlattr_to_sctp() assigns the user-supplied CTA_PROTOINFO_SCTP_STATE
  value directly to ct->proto.sctp.state without checking that it is
  within the valid range. [..]

  and: ... with exp->dir = 100, the access at
  ct->master->tuplehash[100] reads 5600 bytes past the start of a
  320-byte nf_conn object, causing a slab-out-of-bounds read confirmed by
  UBSAN.

Fixes: 076a0ca02644 ("netfilter: ctnetlink: add NAT support for expectations")
Fixes: a258860e01b8 ("netfilter: ctnetlink: add full support for SCTP to ctnetlink")
Reported-by: Hyunwoo Kim <imv4bel@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
