Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: narrow down range completion to anonymous sets
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 00:03:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007220358.1140284-1-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
For anonymous sets, when adjacent ranges are found, the end element is
not added to the set to pack the set representation. Use next start
element to complete this interval.
Jérémy Jean says:
Consider two ranges in a netfilter verdict map:
* keys 10-19 accept packets, and
* keys 30-39 jump to chain 'victim'.
Now, delete the end marker at 20. The lookup array now uses element 30
as the first range's end, so an INTERVAL_END query for key 15 returns
element 30, including its jump verdict and chain pointer. This can make
KASAN reports a UAF after the GC releases reference chain for 30 that
has expired:
