Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: nft_ct: fix OOB in NFT_CT_SRC/DST eval
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 12:26:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528042620.263828-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)

I noticed this issue while looking at a historic syzbot report [1].

syzbot forces dreg[19] to be used as the storage for the ipv4 address,
together with a raw priority chain, which makes nf_ct_l3num(ct) be 0
so that 16 bytes get copied into dreg[19]. Even when the dreg is not
[19], the same larger-than-expected copy can clobber other regs.

I am not sure whether there are other paths; here we add a check to
fix the deprecated NFT_CT_SRC and NFT_CT_DST branches.
