Subject: netfilter: xt_bpf: add overflow checks

From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>


[ Upstream commit 6ab405114b0b229151ef06f4e31c7834dd09d0c0 ]

Check whether inputs from userspace are too long (explicit length field too
big or string not null-terminated) to avoid out-of-bounds reads.

As far as I can tell, this can at worst lead to very limited kernel heap
memory disclosure or oopses.

This bug can be triggered by an unprivileged user even if the xt_bpf module
is not loaded: iptables is available in network namespaces, and the xt_bpf
module can be autoloaded.

Triggering the bug with a classic BPF filter with fake length 0x1000 causes
the following KASAN report:
