Subject: [PATCH net 03/11] netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix Content-Length u32 truncation in sip_help_tcp()
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 16:06:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313150614.21177-4-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313150614.21177-1-fw@strlen.de>
From: Lukas Johannes Möller <research@johannes-moeller.dev>
sip_help_tcp() parses the SIP Content-Length header with
simple_strtoul(), which returns unsigned long, but stores the result in
unsigned int clen. On 64-bit systems, values exceeding UINT_MAX are
silently truncated before computing the SIP message boundary.
For example, Content-Length 4294967328 (2^32 + 32) is truncated to 32,
causing the parser to miscalculate where the current message ends. The
loop then treats trailing data in the TCP segment as a second SIP
message and processes it through the SDP parser.
Fix this by changing clen to unsigned long to match the return type of
simple_strtoul(), and reject Content-Length values that exceed the
remaining TCP payload length.
Fixes: f5b321bd37fb ("netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: add TCP support")
