We get crash when the targets checkentry function tries to make use of the network namespace pointer for arptables. When the net pointer got added back in 2010, only ip/ip6/ebtables were changed to initialize it, so arptables has this set to NULL. This isn't a problem for normal arptables because no existing arptables target has a checkentry function that makes use of par->net. However, direct users of the setsockopt interface can provide any target they want as long as its registered for ARP or UNPSEC protocols. syzkaller managed to send a semi-valid arptables rule for RATEEST target which is enough to trigger NULL deref: kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN RIP: xt_rateest_tg_checkentry+0x11d/0xb40 net/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.c:109 [..] xt_check_target+0x283/0x690 net/netfilter/x_tables.c:1019 check_target net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c:399 [inline] find_check_entry net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c:422 [inline] translate_table+0x1005/0x1d70 net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c:572 do_replace net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c:977 [inline] do_arpt_set_ctl+0x310/0x640 net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c:1456 Fixes: add67461240c1d ("netfilter: add struct net * to target parameters") Reported-by: syzbot+d7358a458d8a81aee898@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> --- net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c | 27 ++++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c b/net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c index 214154b47d56..069f72edb264 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c +++ b/net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c @@ -384,10 +384,11 @@ next: ; return 1; } -static inline int check_target(struct arpt_entry *e, const char *name) +static int check_target(struct arpt_entry *e, struct net *net, const char *name) { struct xt_entry_target *t = arpt_get_target(e); struct xt_tgchk_param par = { + .net = net, .table = name, .entryinfo = e, .target = t->u.kernel.target, @@ -399,8 +400,9 @@ static inline int check_target(struct arpt_entry *e, const char *name) return xt_check_target(&par, t->u.target_size - sizeof(*t), 0, false); } -static inline int -find_check_entry(struct arpt_entry *e, const char *name, unsigned int size, +static int +find_check_entry(struct arpt_entry *e, struct net *net, const char *name, + unsigned int size, struct xt_percpu_counter_alloc_state *alloc_state) { struct xt_entry_target *t; @@ -419,7 +421,7 @@ find_check_entry(struct arpt_entry *e, const char *name, unsigned int size, } t->u.kernel.target = target; - ret = check_target(e, name); + ret = check_target(e, net, name); if (ret) goto err; return 0; @@ -512,7 +514,9 @@ static inline void cleanup_entry(struct arpt_entry *e) /* Checks and translates the user-supplied table segment (held in * newinfo). */ -static int translate_table(struct xt_table_info *newinfo, void *entry0, +static int translate_table(struct net *net, + struct xt_table_info *newinfo, + void *entry0, const struct arpt_replace *repl) { struct xt_percpu_counter_alloc_state alloc_state = { 0 }; @@ -569,7 +573,7 @@ static int translate_table(struct xt_table_info *newinfo, void *entry0, /* Finally, each sanity check must pass */ i = 0; xt_entry_foreach(iter, entry0, newinfo->size) { - ret = find_check_entry(iter, repl->name, repl->size, + ret = find_check_entry(iter, net, repl->name, repl->size, &alloc_state); if (ret != 0) break; @@ -974,7 +978,7 @@ static int do_replace(struct net *net, const void __user *user, goto free_newinfo; } - ret = translate_table(newinfo, loc_cpu_entry, &tmp); + ret = translate_table(net, newinfo, loc_cpu_entry, &tmp); if (ret != 0) goto free_newinfo; @@ -1149,7 +1153,8 @@ compat_copy_entry_from_user(struct compat_arpt_entry *e, void **dstptr, } } -static int translate_compat_table(struct xt_table_info **pinfo, +static int translate_compat_table(struct net *net, + struct xt_table_info **pinfo, void **pentry0, const struct compat_arpt_replace *compatr) { @@ -1217,7 +1222,7 @@ static int translate_compat_table(struct xt_table_info **pinfo, repl.num_counters = 0; repl.counters = NULL; repl.size = newinfo->size; - ret = translate_table(newinfo, entry1, &repl); + ret = translate_table(net, newinfo, entry1, &repl); if (ret) goto free_newinfo; @@ -1270,7 +1275,7 @@ static int compat_do_replace(struct net *net, void __user *user, goto free_newinfo; } - ret = translate_compat_table(&newinfo, &loc_cpu_entry, &tmp); + ret = translate_compat_table(net, &newinfo, &loc_cpu_entry, &tmp); if (ret != 0) goto free_newinfo; @@ -1546,7 +1551,7 @@ int arpt_register_table(struct net *net, loc_cpu_entry = newinfo->entries; memcpy(loc_cpu_entry, repl->entries, repl->size); - ret = translate_table(newinfo, loc_cpu_entry, repl); + ret = translate_table(net, newinfo, loc_cpu_entry, repl); if (ret != 0) goto out_free; -- 2.24.1
