From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@xxxxxxxxx> Currently, if the user add a stateful object with the name size exceed NFT_OBJ_MAXNAMELEN - 1 (i.e. 31), we truncate it down to 31 silently. This is not friendly, furthermore, this will cause duplicated stateful objects when the first 31 characters of the name is same. So limit the stateful object's name size to NFT_OBJ_MAXNAMELEN - 1. After apply this patch, error message will be printed out like this: # name_32=$(printf "%0.sQ" {1..32}) # nft add counter filter $name_32 <cmdline>:1:1-52: Error: Could not process rule: Numerical result out of range add counter filter QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Fixes: e50092404c1b ("netfilter: nf_tables: add stateful objects") Signed-off-by: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@xxxxxxxxx> --- net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c index 091d2dc..9112ca9 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c @@ -4033,7 +4033,8 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(nf_tables_obj_lookup); static const struct nla_policy nft_obj_policy[NFTA_OBJ_MAX + 1] = { [NFTA_OBJ_TABLE] = { .type = NLA_STRING }, - [NFTA_OBJ_NAME] = { .type = NLA_STRING }, + [NFTA_OBJ_NAME] = { .type = NLA_STRING, + .len = NFT_OBJ_MAXNAMELEN - 1 }, [NFTA_OBJ_TYPE] = { .type = NLA_U32 }, [NFTA_OBJ_DATA] = { .type = NLA_NESTED }, }; -- 2.5.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
