[PATCH v3 1/1] iptables: Fix crash on malformed iptables-restore

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fixes the crash reported in Bugzilla #1131 where a malformed parameter that
specifies the table option during a restore can create an invalid pointer.
It was discovered during fuzz testing that options like '-ftf'
can cause a segfault. A parameter that includes a 't' is not currently
filtered correctly.

Improves the filtering to:
Filter a beginning '-' followed by a character other than '-' and then a 't'
anywhere in the parameter. This filters parameters like '-ftf'.
Filter a beginning '--t'. Because the getopt_long function allows abbreviations,
any parameter beginning with '--t' will be treated as '--table'. As no other
iptables option begins with a 't' this won't filter out other options.
