- Summary
- netfilter: flowtable: Validate iph->ihl in nf_flow_ip4_tunnel_proto()
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: flowtable: Validate iph->ihl in nfflowip4tunnelproto()
Add sanity check for iph->ihl field in nfflowip4tunnelproto() before using it to compute the header size, avoiding out-of-bounds access with malformed IP headers. While at it, use iph->protocol instead of the hardcoded IPPROTOIPIP constant when setting ctx->tun.proto and reference ctx->tun.hdrsize when updating ctx->offset.
