Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/15] netfilter: synproxy: fix unaligned memory access in timestamp adjustment
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 11:49:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260607094954.48892-7-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260607094954.48892-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>
Use get_unaligned_be32() and put_unaligned_be32() to safely read and
write the timestamp fields. This prevents performance degradation due to
unaligned memory access or even a crash on strict alignment
architectures.
This follows the implementation of timestamp parsing in the networking
stack at tcp_parse_options() and synproxy_parse_options().
Fixes: 48b1de4c110a ("netfilter: add SYNPROXY core/target")
