Subject: [PATCH net 08/10] netfilter: nf_tables: fix device name and prefix match in hook lookup
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 17:38:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821153833.245589-9-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821153833.245589-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>
Currently, a netdev chain or flowtable hooked to a device prefix can be
unintentionally deleted or updated by a control-plane request targeting
an exact device name or even a shorter one due to the usage of min() to
calculate the length to match.
Fix this by making sure an exact device match never matches a prefix and
that both the target and the candidate have the same length.
Reported-by: Wei Fang <void0red@gmail.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netfilter-devel/CANE+tVrDeNCHQVmsqkV2ozeBqyE3GtRDMhZgsg1bhw10yGNTRQ@mail.gmail.com/
Fixes: 6d07a289504a ("netfilter: nf_tables: Support wildcard netdev hook specs")
