[ 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: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in bpf_prog_create+0x84/0xf0 Read of size 32768 at addr ffff8801eff2c494 by task test/4627 CPU: 0 PID: 4627 Comm: test Not tainted 4.15.0-rc1+ #1 [...] Call Trace: dump_stack+0x5c/0x85 print_address_description+0x6a/0x260 kasan_report+0x254/0x370 ? bpf_prog_create+0x84/0xf0 memcpy+0x1f/0x50 bpf_prog_create+0x84/0xf0 bpf_mt_check+0x90/0xd6 [xt_bpf] [...] Allocated by task 4627: kasan_kmalloc+0xa0/0xd0 __kmalloc_node+0x47/0x60 xt_alloc_table_info+0x41/0x70 [x_tables] [...] The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff8801eff2c3c0 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-2048 of size 2048 The buggy address is located 212 bytes inside of 2048-byte region [ffff8801eff2c3c0, ffff8801eff2cbc0) [...] ================================================================== Fixes: e6f30c731718 ("netfilter: x_tables: add xt_bpf match") Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@verizon.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
