Subject: [PATCH net-next 11/11] netfilter: require Ethernet MAC header before using eth_hdr()
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 13:23:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410112352.23599-12-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260410112352.23599-1-fw@strlen.de>
From: Zhengchuan Liang <zcliangcn@gmail.com>
`ip6t_eui64`, `xt_mac`, the `bitmap:ip,mac`, `hash:ip,mac`, and
`hash:mac` ipset types, and `nf_log_syslog` access `eth_hdr(skb)`
after either assuming that the skb is associated with an Ethernet
device or checking only that the `ETH_HLEN` bytes at
`skb_mac_header(skb)` lie between `skb->head` and `skb->data`.
Make these paths first verify that the skb is associated with an
Ethernet device, that the MAC header was set, and that it spans at
least a full Ethernet header before accessing `eth_hdr(skb)`.
