Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_conntrack: reserve two bytes for nf_ct_ext->len
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:32:34 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1395934354-13226-1-git-send-email-avagin@openvz.org> (raw)

"len" contains sizeof(nf_ct_ext) and size of extensions. In a worst
case it can contain all extensions. Bellow you can find sizes for all
types of extensions. Their sum is definitely bigger than 256.

nf_ct_ext_types[0]->len = 24
nf_ct_ext_types[1]->len = 32
nf_ct_ext_types[2]->len = 24
nf_ct_ext_types[3]->len = 32
nf_ct_ext_types[4]->len = 152
nf_ct_ext_types[5]->len = 2
nf_ct_ext_types[6]->len = 16
nf_ct_ext_types[7]->len = 8

I have seen "len" up to 280 and my host has crashes w/o this patch.
