Subject: [PATCH 4/4] netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix buffer overflow
Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2011 16:32:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1300635148-22648-5-git-send-email-kaber@trash.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1300635148-22648-1-git-send-email-kaber@trash.net>
From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon@openwall.com>
'buffer' string is copied from userspace. It is not checked whether it is
zero terminated. This may lead to overflow inside of simple_strtoul().
Changli Gao suggested to copy not more than user supplied 'size' bytes.
It was introduced before the git epoch. Files "ipt_CLUSTERIP/*" are
root writable only by default, however, on some setups permissions might be
relaxed to e.g. network admin user.
