Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: nft_payload: fix mask build for partial field offload
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 22:15:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260719221523.1336739-1-xmei5@asu.edu> (raw)

nft_payload_offload_mask() builds the offload match mask for a payload
expression that covers only part of a header field.  For a partial IPv6
address match (field_len = 16, priv_len = 1) that shift is 1 << 120, which
is undefined on the 32-bit int operand.  It also trims only one word, so
the remaining words stay 0xffffffff (and when priv_len is a multiple of 4
the trim is skipped entirely), leaving the mask covering more bytes than
the rule matches.

  UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/netfilter/nft_payload.c:278:20
  shift exponent 120 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
  ...

The match is byte-granular and struct nft_data is zero-initialised, so the
correct mask is simply the first priv_len bytes set to 0xff. Set those
bytes directly and drop the word/shift trimming; this removes the undefined
shift and no longer over-masks the trailing bytes.

Fixes: a5d45bc0dc50 ("netfilter: nftables_offload: build mask based from the matching bytes")
