Subject: [PATCH 3/3] netfilter: nf_tables: enforce NLA_NUL_STRING in strings
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2014 13:51:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1396266691-3538-3-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1396266691-3538-1-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org>
nla_strcmp compares the string length plus one, so it's implicitly
including the nul-termination in the comparison.
int nla_strcmp(const struct nlattr *nla, const char *str)
{
int len = strlen(str) + 1;
...
d = memcmp(nla_data(nla), str, len);
However, if NLA_STRING is used, userspace can send us a string without
the null-termination. This is a problem since the nf_tables lookup
functions won't find any matching as the last byte may mismatch.
So we have to enforce that strings are nul-termination to avoid
mismatches.
The userspace library libnftnl always appends the nul-termination
to all strings that are sent to the kernel, that's why this bug didn't
manifest in userspace.
