This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nf_tables: restrict anonymous set and map names to 16 bytes to the 6.7-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-restrict-anonymous-set-and-map-n.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 541e41a88a00522cc6ce415e5481902002c27b4a Author: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jan 19 13:34:32 2024 +0100 netfilter: nf_tables: restrict anonymous set and map names to 16 bytes [ Upstream commit b462579b2b86a8f5230543cadd3a4836be27baf7 ] nftables has two types of sets/maps, one where userspace defines the name, and anonymous sets/maps, where userspace defines a template name. For the latter, kernel requires presence of exactly one "%d". nftables uses "__set%d" and "__map%d" for this. The kernel will expand the format specifier and replaces it with the smallest unused number. As-is, userspace could define a template name that allows to move the set name past the 256 bytes upperlimit (post-expansion). I don't see how this could be a problem, but I would prefer if userspace cannot do this, so add a limit of 16 bytes for the '%d' template name. 16 bytes is the old total upper limit for set names that existed when nf_tables was merged initially.
