Subject: [PATCH net] netfilter: nf_flow_table_offload: fix heap overflow in flow_action_entry_next()
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 02:23:06 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aaxe-uH2Qr6qM4E9@v4bel> (raw)

flow_action_entry_next() increments num_entries and returns a pointer
into the flow_action_entry array without any bounds checking.  The array
is allocated with a fixed size of NF_FLOW_RULE_ACTION_MAX (16) entries,
but certain combinations of IPv6 + SNAT + DNAT + double VLAN (QinQ)
require 17 or more entries, causing a slab-out-of-bounds write in the
kmalloc-4k slab.

The maximum possible entry count is:
  tunnel(2) + eth(4) + VLAN(4) + IPv6_NAT(10) + redirect(1) = 21

Increase NF_FLOW_RULE_ACTION_MAX to 24 (with headroom) to cover the
worst case.

Fixes: efce49dfe6a8 ("netfilter: flowtable: add vlan pop action offload support")
