netfilter: require Ethernet MAC header before using eth_hdr()

2026-06-19T11:42:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit 62443dc21114c0bbc476fa62973db89743f2f137 ] `ip6t_eui64`, `xt_mac`, the `bitmap:ip,mac`, `hash:ip,mac`, and `hash:mac` ipset types, and `nf_log_syslog` access `eth_hdr(skb)` after either assuming that the skb is associated with an Ethernet device or checking only that the `ETH_HLEN` bytes at `skb_mac_header(skb)` lie between `skb->head` and `skb->data`. Make these paths first verify that the skb is associated with an Ethernet device, that the MAC header was set, and that it spans at least a full Ethernet header before accessing `eth_hdr(skb)`.

netfilter: nft_fib: fix stale stack leak via the OIFNAME register

2026-06-19T11:42:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit ab185e0c4fb82dfba6fb86f8271e06f931d9c64c ] For NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIFNAME the destination register is declared with len = IFNAMSIZ (four 32-bit registers), but on the lookup-fail, RTN_LOCAL and oif-mismatch paths nft_fib{4,6}_eval() only writes one register via "*dest = 0". The remaining three registers are left as whatever was on the stack in nft_do_chain()'s struct nft_regs, and a downstream expression that loads the register span can leak that uninitialised kernel stack to userspace. The NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT existence check has the same shape: it is only meaningful for NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIF, yet it was accepted for any result type while the eval stores a single byte via nft_reg_store8(), leaving the rest of the declared span stale. Fix both: - replace the bare "*dest = 0" in the eval with nft_fib_store_result(), which strscpy_pad()s the whole IFNAMSIZ for OIFNAME (and is already used on the other early-return path), and - restrict NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT to NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIF and declare its destination as a single u8, so the marked span matches the one byte the eval writes.

netfilter: x_tables: avoid leaking percpu counter pointers

2026-06-19T11:42:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit f7f2fbb0e893a0238dc464f8d8c0f5609bec584f ] The native and compat get-entries paths copy the fixed rule entry header from the kernelized rule blob to userspace before overwriting the entry's counter fields with a sanitized counter snapshot. On SMP kernels, entry->counters.pcnt contains the percpu allocation address used by x_tables rule counters. A caller can provide a userspace buffer that faults during the initial fixed-header copy after pcnt has been copied but before the later sanitized counter copy runs. The syscall then returns -EFAULT while leaving the raw percpu pointer in userspace. Copy only the fixed entry prefix before counters from the kernelized rule blob, then copy the sanitized counter snapshot into the counter field. Apply this ordering to the IPv4, IPv6, and ARP native and compat get-entries implementations so a fault cannot expose the internal percpu counter pointer.

netfilter: ip6t_hbh: reject oversized option lists

2026-06-01T15:46:18+00:00

commit 4322dcde6b4173c2d8e8e6118ed290794263bcc8 upstream. struct ip6t_opts stores at most IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR option descriptors, but hbh_mt6_check() does not reject larger optsnr values supplied from userspace. Validate optsnr in the rule setup path so only match data that fits the fixed-size opts array can be installed. This follows the existing xtables pattern of rejecting invalid user-provided counts in checkentry() and keeps the packet matching path unchanged. `struct ip6t_opts` has a fixed `opts[IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR]` array, where `IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR` is 16, then off-by-one array access is possible: [ 137.924693][ T8692] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in ../net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6t_hbh.c:110:29 [ 137.926167][ T8692] index 16 is out of range for type '__u16 [16]' Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Yuan Tan Reported-by: Yifan Wu Reported-by: Juefei Pu Reported-by: Xin Liu Signed-off-by: Zhengchuan Liang Signed-off-by: Ren Wei Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

netfilter: ip6t_eui64: reject invalid MAC header for all packets

2026-04-22T11:18:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit fdce0b3590f724540795b874b4c8850c90e6b0a8 ] `eui64_mt6()` derives a modified EUI-64 from the Ethernet source address and compares it with the low 64 bits of the IPv6 source address. The existing guard only rejects an invalid MAC header when `par->fragoff != 0`. For packets with `par->fragoff == 0`, `eui64_mt6()` can still reach `eth_hdr(skb)` even when the MAC header is not valid. Fix this by removing the `par->fragoff != 0` condition so that packets with an invalid MAC header are rejected before accessing `eth_hdr(skb)`.

netfilter: nf_reject: don't reply to icmp error messages

2025-11-13T20:34:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit db99b2f2b3e2cd8227ac9990ca4a8a31a1e95e56 ] tcp reject code won't reply to a tcp reset. But the icmp reject 'netdev' family versions will reply to icmp dst-unreach errors, unlike icmp_send() and icmp6_send() which are used by the inet family implementation (and internally by the REJECT target). Check for the icmp(6) type and do not respond if its an unreachable error. Without this, something like 'ip protocol icmp reject', when used in a netdev chain attached to 'lo', cause a packet loop. Same for two hosts that both use such a rule: each error packet will be replied to. Such situation persist until the (bogus) rule is amended to ratelimit or checks the icmp type before the reject statement. As the inet versions don't do this make the netdev ones follow along.
