Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: nf_tables: reject requests exceeding NF_FLOW_RULE_ACTION_MAX actions
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 17:41:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325164130.29060-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
nf_flow_offload_rule_alloc() allocates space for NF_FLOW_RULE_ACTION_MAX
entries. Make sure userspace passes more entries to us.
Reported-by: Hyunwoo Kim <imv4bel@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

Can also route via nf-next if thats deemed the better tree.
