As in commit 2045cdfa1b40 ("netfilter: nf_conntrack: Fix possible possible crash on module loading"),
Loading the nf_conntrack module with doubled hashsize parameter, i.e.
modprobe nf_conntrack hashsize=12345 hashsize=12345
causes NULL-ptr deref.
If 'hashsize' specified twice, the nf_conntrack_set_hashsize() function
will be called also twice.
In addition, we may also construct the doubled hashsize parameter scenario by using the following configuration:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/firewalld-sysctls.conf
install nf_conntrack /usr/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nf_conntrack $CMDLINE_OPTS && /usr/sbin/sysctl --quiet --pattern 'net[.]netfilter[.]nf_conntrack.*' --system
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nf_conntrack.conf
options nf_conntrack hashsize=187600
$ sudo modprobe nf_conntrack -v
install /usr/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nf_conntrack $CMDLINE_OPTS && /usr/sbin/sysctl --quiet --pattern 'net[.]netfilter[.]nf_conntrack.*' --system hashsize=187500
insmod /path/to/nf_conntrack.ko hashsize=187500 hashsize=187500
Passing multiple repeated parameters to the kernel may trigger kernel bugs
and affect the performance of loading kernel modules.
We introduce the nf_conntrack_set_hashsize() and hope to solve this problem.
