Subject: [PATCH net 10/10] netfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: reject rev0 reuse of ALARM timer labels
Date: Mon,  9 Mar 2026 22:08:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309210845.15657-11-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309210845.15657-1-fw@strlen.de>

From: Yuan Tan <tanyuan98@outlook.com>

IDLETIMER revision 0 rules reuse existing timers by label and always call
mod_timer() on timer->timer.

If the label was created first by revision 1 with XT_IDLETIMER_ALARM,
the object uses alarm timer semantics and timer->timer is never initialized.
Reusing that object from revision 0 causes mod_timer() on an uninitialized
timer_list, triggering debugobjects warnings and possible panic when
panic_on_warn=1.

Fix this by rejecting revision 0 rule insertion when an existing timer with
the same label is of ALARM type.

Fixes: 68983a354a65 ("netfilter: xtables: Add snapshot of hardidletimer target")
