Subject: [PATCH net 08/12] netfilter: x_tables: check target name before accessing verdict
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 13:45:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105124536.1009301-9-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105124536.1009301-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>
Non-standard targets may contain only struct xt_entry_target.
mark_source_chains() nevertheless reads the target as an
xt_standard_target before checking its name, potentially reading four
bytes beyond a header-only target.
Check that the target is standard before reading its verdict.
Non-standard targets remain handled as fallthrough rules.
See the following KASAN trace:
