From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Unlike ip(6)tables ebtables only counts user-defined chains. The effect is that a 32bit ebtables binary on a 64bit kernel can do 'ebtables -N FOO' only after adding at least one rule, else the request fails with -EINVAL. This is a similar fix as done in 3f1e53abff84 ("netfilter: ebtables: don't attempt to allocate 0-sized compat array"). Fixes: 7d7d7e02111e9 ("netfilter: compat: reject huge allocation requests") Reported-by: Francesco Ruggeri <fruggeri@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c | 9 ++++++--- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c b/net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c index 5e55cef0cec3..6693e209efe8 100644 --- a/net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c +++ b/net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c @@ -2293,9 +2293,12 @@ static int compat_do_replace(struct net *net, void __user *user, xt_compat_lock(NFPROTO_BRIDGE); - ret = xt_compat_init_offsets(NFPROTO_BRIDGE, tmp.nentries); - if (ret < 0) - goto out_unlock; + if (tmp.nentries) { + ret = xt_compat_init_offsets(NFPROTO_BRIDGE, tmp.nentries); + if (ret < 0) + goto out_unlock; + } + ret = compat_copy_entries(entries_tmp, tmp.entries_size, &state); if (ret < 0) goto out_unlock; -- 2.11.0
