This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nf_tables: fix destination register zeroing to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: netfilter-nf_tables-fix-destination-register-zeroing.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b062aae7c5092f3f0d5df762e3f666b5b3147904 Author: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Aug 20 21:05:50 2020 +0200 netfilter: nf_tables: fix destination register zeroing [ Upstream commit 1e105e6afa6c3d32bfb52c00ffa393894a525c27 ] Following bug was reported via irc: nft list ruleset set knock_candidates_ipv4 { type ipv4_addr . inet_service size 65535 elements = { 127.0.0.1 . 123, 127.0.0.1 . 123 } } .. udp dport 123 add @knock_candidates_ipv4 { ip saddr . 123 } udp dport 123 add @knock_candidates_ipv4 { ip saddr . udp dport } It should not have been possible to add a duplicate set entry. After some debugging it turned out that the problem is the immediate value (123) in the second-to-last rule. Concatenations use 32bit registers, i.e. the elements are 8 bytes each, not 6 and it turns out the kernel inserted inet firewall @knock_candidates_ipv4 element 0100007f ffff7b00 : 0 [end] element 0100007f 00007b00 : 0 [end] Note the non-zero upper bits of the first element. It turns out that nft_immediate doesn't zero the destination register, but this is needed when the length isn't a multiple of 4. Furthermore, the zeroing in nft_payload is broken. We can't use [len / 4] = 0 -- if len is a multiple of 4, index is off by one. Skip zeroing in this case and use a conditional instead of (len -1) / 4.
