Netfilter fixes for net
The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net. Note that most
of the bugs fixed here are >5 years old. The large PR is not due to an
increase in regressions.
1) Flowtable hardware offload support in IPv6 can lead to out-of-bounds
when populating the rule action array when combined with double-tagged
vlan. Bump the maximum number of actions from 16 to 24 and check that
such limit is never reached, otherwise bail out. This bugs stems from
the original flowtable hardware offload support.
2) nfnetlink_log does not include the netlink header size of the trailing
NLMSG_DONE message when calculating the skb size. From Florian Westphal.
3) Reject names in xt_cgroup and xt_rateest extensions which are not
nul-terminated. Also from Florian.
4) Use nla_strcmp in ipset lookup by set name, since IPSET_ATTR_NAME and
IPSET_ATTR_NAMEREF are of NLA_STRING type. From Florian Westphal.
5) When unregistering conntrack helpers, pass the helper that is going
away so the expectation cleanup is done accordingly, otherwise UaF is
possible when accessing expectation that refer to the helper that is
gone. From Qi Tang.
6) Zero expectation NAT fields to address leaking kernel memory through
the expectation netlink dump when unset. Also from Qi Tang.
7) Use the master conntrack helper when creating expectations via
ctnetlink, ignore the suggested helper through CTA_EXPECT_HELP_NAME.
This allows to address a possible read of kernel memory off the
expectation object boundary.
8) Fix incorrect release of the hash bucket logic in ipset when the
bucket is empty, leading to shrinking the hash bucket to size 0
which deals to out-of-bound write in next element additions.
From Yifan Wu.
9) Allow the use of x_tables extensions that explicitly declare
NFPROTO_ARP support only. This is to avoid an incorrect hook number
validation due to non-overlapping arp and inet hook number
definitions.
10) Reject immediate NF_QUEUE verdict in nf_tables. The userspace
nft tool always uses the nft_queue expression for queueing.
This ensures this verdict cannot be used for the arp family,
which does supported this.
