Subject: [PATCH net-next 07/11] netfilter: nfnl_cthelper: apply per-class values when updating policies
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 20:29:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525182924.28456-8-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260525182924.28456-1-fw@strlen.de>

From: David Carlier <devnexen@gmail.com>

When a userspace conntrack helper with multiple expectation classes is
updated via nfnetlink, every class ends up with the first class's
max_expected and timeout values.

nfnl_cthelper_update_policy_all() validates each new policy into the
corresponding slot of the temporary new_policy array, but the second
loop that commits the values into the live helper dereferences
new_policy as a pointer instead of indexing it, so every iteration
reads new_policy[0] regardless of i.  An update that changes per-class
values is silently collapsed onto class 0's values with no error
returned to userspace.

Index the temporary array by i in the commit loop so each class gets
its own validated values.

Fixes: 2c422257550f ("netfilter: nfnl_cthelper: fix runtime expectation policy updates")
