Subject: [PATCH nf-next] netfilter: x_physdev: reject empty or not-nul terminated device names
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 11:20:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409092022.486-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
Reject names that lack a \0 character and reject the empty string as
well. iptables allows this but it fails to re-parse iptables-save output
that contain such rules.
Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
