Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] netfilter: conntrack: add missing netlink policy validations
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:31:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413073105.2990210-1-1468888505@139.com> (raw)
From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
[ Upstream commit f900e1d77ee0ef87bfb5ab3fe60f0b3d8ad5ba05 ]
Hyunwoo Kim reports out-of-bounds access in sctp and ctnetlink.
These attributes are used by the kernel without any validation.
Extend the netlink policies accordingly.
Quoting the reporter:
nlattr_to_sctp() assigns the user-supplied CTA_PROTOINFO_SCTP_STATE
value directly to ct->proto.sctp.state without checking that it is
within the valid range. [..]
and: ... with exp->dir = 100, the access at
ct->master->tuplehash[100] reads 5600 bytes past the start of a
320-byte nf_conn object, causing a slab-out-of-bounds read confirmed by
UBSAN.
Fixes: 076a0ca02644 ("netfilter: ctnetlink: add NAT support for expectations")
Fixes: a258860e01b8 ("netfilter: ctnetlink: add full support for SCTP to ctnetlink")
