Subject: [PATCH 1/2] netfilter: xtables: fix reentrancy
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2011 18:05:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1300467921.2888.157.camel@edumazet-laptop> (raw)

commit f3c5c1bfd4308 (make ip_tables reentrant) introduced a race in
handling the stackptr restore, at the end of ipt_do_table()

We should do it before the call to xt_info_rdunlock_bh(), or we allow
cpu preemption and another cpu overwrites stackptr of original one.

A second fix is to change the underflow test to check the origptr value
instead of 0 to detect underflow, or else we allow a jump from different
hooks.
