Subject: [PATCH net 11/15] netfilter: x_tables: check target name before accessing verdict
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2026 01:56:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102005654.532438-12-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102005654.532438-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>

Non-standard targets may contain only struct xt_entry_target.
mark_source_chains() nevertheless reads the target as an
xt_standard_target before checking its name, potentially reading four
bytes beyond a header-only target.

Check that the target is standard before reading its verdict.
Non-standard targets remain handled as fallthrough rules.

See the following KASAN trace:
