xfrm: add forgotten nla_policy for XFRMA_MTIMER_THRESH
[ Upstream commit 5e2424708da7207087934c5c75211e8584d553a0 ]
The previous commit 4e484b3e969b ("xfrm: rate limit SA mapping change
message to user space") added one additional attribute named
XFRMA_MTIMER_THRESH and described its type at compat_policy
(net/xfrm/xfrm_compat.c).
However, the author forgot to also describe the nla_policy at
xfrma_policy (net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c). Hence, this suppose NLA_U32 (4
bytes) value can be faked as empty (0 bytes) by a malicious user, which
leads to 4 bytes overflow read and heap information leak when parsing
nlattrs.
To exploit this, one malicious user can spray the SLUB objects and then
leverage this 4 bytes OOB read to leak the heap data into
x->mapping_maxage (see xfrm_update_ae_params(...)), and leak it to
userspace via copy_to_user_state_extra(...).
The above bug is assigned CVE-2023-3773. To fix it, this commit just
completes the nla_policy description for XFRMA_MTIMER_THRESH, which
enforces the length check and avoids such OOB read.
