Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix OOB read in epaddr_len and ct_sip_parse_header_uri
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 17:50:57 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409095056.706441-2-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)
In epaddr_len() and ct_sip_parse_header_uri(), after sip_parse_addr()
successfully parses an IP address, the code checks whether the next
character is ':' to determine if a port number follows. However,
neither function verifies that the pointer is still within bounds
before dereferencing it.
When a SIP header URI contains an IP address that extends to the last
byte of the packet data, in4_pton() or in6_pton() consumes all
available bytes and returns with the end pointer equal to limit. The
subsequent dereference reads one byte past the valid SIP message data.
ct_sip_parse_request() already handles this correctly:
if (end < limit && *end == ':') {
Apply the same bounds check to the two functions that are missing it.
Fixes: 9fafcd7b2032 ("[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack/nf_nat: add SIP helper port")
