Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: nfnetlink_osf: fix divide-by-zero in OSF_WSS_MODULO
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 13:17:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414111722.6944-1-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)

Xiang Mei says:

The OSF_WSS_MODULO branch in nf_osf_match_one() performs:

  ctx->window % f->wss.val

without guarding against f->wss.val == 0.  A user with CAP_NET_ADMIN
can add an OSF fingerprint with wss.wc = OSF_WSS_MODULO and wss.val = 0
via nfnetlink.  When a matching TCP SYN packet arrives, the kernel
executes a division by zero and panics.

The OSF_WSS_PLAIN case already treats val == 0 as a wildcard (match
everything).  Apply the same semantics to OSF_WSS_MODULO: if val is 0,
any window value matches rather than dividing by zero.

Crash:
 Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
 RIP: 0010:nf_osf_match_one (net/netfilter/nfnetlink_osf.c:98)

Fix this from control plane, reject f->wss.val == 0 if wss.ws is
OSF_WSS_MODULO.

Apologies, I don't mean to step on your feet with this patch.
This just expedites scrutiny before PR submission.
