[PATCH net 0/2] Netfilter fixes for net

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

Hi,

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net:

Fix a possible null-ptr-deref sometimes triggered by iptables-restore at
boot time. Register iptables {ipv4,ipv6} nat table pernet in first place
to fix this issue. Patch #1 and #2 from Kuniyuki Iwashima.

Please, pull these changes from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf.git nf-24-07-31

Thanks.

[PATCH net 1/2] netfilter: iptables: Fix null-ptr-deref in iptable_nat_table_init().

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@amazon.com>

We had a report that iptables-restore sometimes triggered null-ptr-deref
at boot time. [0]

The problem is that iptable_nat_table_init() is exposed to user space
before the kernel fully initialises netns.

In the small race window, a user could call iptable_nat_table_init()
that accesses net_generic(net, iptable_nat_net_id), which is available
only after registering iptable_nat_net_ops.

Let's call register_pernet_subsys() before xt_register_template().

[PATCH net 2/2] netfilter: iptables: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in ip6table_nat_table_init().

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@amazon.com>

ip6table_nat_table_init() accesses net->gen->ptr[ip6table_nat_net_ops.id],
but the function is exposed to user space before the entry is allocated
via register_pernet_subsys().

Let's call register_pernet_subsys() before xt_register_template().
