Subject: [PATCH v2] net/ixgbe: fix MAC/VLAN item validation for ntuple
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 16:21:17 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507132117.1449179-1-dish@amicon.ru> (raw)

When parsing an ntuple filter, the code attempts to ensure that if the
first item is ETH or VLAN, its spec and mask are either absent or
contain only zero fields. The current check is:

  if ((item->spec || item->mask) &&
      (memcmp(spec, &null_struct, size) ||
       memcmp(mask, &null_struct, size)))

This condition is logically incorrect. If item->spec points to a
zero-filled structure and item->mask is NULL, memcmp(mask) would
dereference a NULL pointer.

The intended behavior is to reject any non-zero spec or mask.

Guard each memcmp() call with a check of the corresponding pointer while
keeping a single error path.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
