Subject: [PATCH net-next 10/10] netfilter: xt_tcpmss: check remaining length before reading optlen
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 20:18:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120191803.22208-11-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260120191803.22208-1-fw@strlen.de>
Quoting reporter:
In net/netfilter/xt_tcpmss.c (lines 53-68), the TCP option parser reads
op[i+1] directly without validating the remaining option length.
If the last byte of the option field is not EOL/NOP (0/1), the code attempts
to index op[i+1]. In the case where i + 1 == optlen, this causes an
out-of-bounds read, accessing memory past the optlen boundary
(either reading beyond the stack buffer _opt or the
following payload).
