Subject: [PATCH net-next 11/12] netfilter: ebtables: bound num_counters like nentries in do_replace()
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 12:50:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702105003.13550-12-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702105003.13550-1-fw@strlen.de>
From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
do_replace_finish() allocates the counter buffer before it is validated:
counterstmp = vmalloc_array(repl->num_counters, sizeof(*counterstmp));
do_replace() only checks num_counters against INT_MAX / sizeof(struct
ebt_counter), so vmalloc_array() can be asked for up to 134217726 * 16 =
2147483616 bytes (~2 GiB).
num_counters must in fact equal nentries: do_replace_finish() later
rejects the request when repl->num_counters != t->private->nentries.
get_counters() folds the per-CPU counters back into one entry per rule,
so what userspace gets is bounded by nentries, never by nentries *
nr_cpus. Apply the same upper bound used for nentries (MAX_EBT_ENTRIES)
to the incoming num_counters so the over-sized allocation can no longer
be requested.
The allocation is still kept outside the ebt_mutex, since vmalloc() may
sleep and trigger reclaim; only the bound is tightened.
