Subject: [PATCH net 04/11] netfilter: nfnetlink_osf: fix null-ptr-deref in nf_osf_ttl
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 15:14:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416131453.308611-5-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260416131453.308611-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: "Kito Xu (veritas501)" <hxzene@gmail.com>

nf_osf_ttl() calls __in_dev_get_rcu(skb->dev) and passes the result
to in_dev_for_each_ifa_rcu() without checking for NULL. When the
receiving device has no IPv4 configuration (ip_ptr is NULL),
__in_dev_get_rcu() returns NULL and in_dev_for_each_ifa_rcu()
dereferences it unconditionally, causing a kernel crash.

This can happen when a packet arrives on a device that has had its
IPv4 configuration removed (e.g., MTU set below IPV4_MIN_MTU causing
inetdev_destroy) or on a device that was never assigned an IPv4
address, while an xt_osf or nft_osf rule with TTL_LESS mode is
active and the packet TTL exceeds the fingerprint TTL.

Add a NULL check for in_dev before using it. When in_dev is NULL,
return 0 (no match) since source-address locality cannot be
determined without IPv4 addresses on the device.

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]
