Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 2/2] netfilter: nft_fib: reject fib expression on the netdev egress hook
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 10:18:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723141835.3216078-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723141835.3216078-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Theodor Arsenij Larionov-Trichkine <theodorlarionov@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit d07955dd34ecae17d35d8c7d0a273a3fba653a8c ]
A fib expression in a netdev egress base chain dereferences nft_in(pkt),
NULL on the transmit path, causing a NULL pointer dereference at eval.
nft_fib_validate() masks the hook with NF_INET_* values, but netdev hook
numbers are a separate enum that aliases them (NF_NETDEV_EGRESS ==
NF_INET_LOCAL_IN), so an egress chain passes validation and then faults.
Add nft_fib_netdev_validate() that limits each result/flag to the netdev
hook where the device it reads exists: the input-device cases (OIF,
OIFNAME, ADDRTYPE with F_IIF) to ingress, the output-device case (ADDRTYPE
with F_OIF) to egress, ADDRTYPE with no device flag to both. Also restrict
nft_fib_validate() to NFPROTO_IPV4/IPV6/INET so its NF_INET_* masks are
not applied to another family's hooks.
Fixes: 42df6e1d221d ("netfilter: Introduce egress hook")
