Subject: [PATCH nf-next 2/4] netfilter: xt_CT: check for nul-terminated timeout and helper name
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 14:27:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818122741.1329660-2-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818122741.1329660-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
Otherwise, ignore malformed helper/timeout string that userspace
provides.
Fixes: 84f3bb9ae9db ("netfilter: xtables: add CT target")
Fixes: 24de58f46516 ("netfilter: xt_CT: allow to attach timeout policy + glue code")
Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
