This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nft_compat: restrict match/target protocol to u16 to the 5.15-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-nft_compat-restrict-match-target-protocol-.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1b13c1d6ae8a41088ecb46d62118409a53b762d3 Author: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 2 00:05:23 2024 +0100 netfilter: nft_compat: restrict match/target protocol to u16 [ Upstream commit d694b754894c93fb4d71a7f3699439dec111decc ] xt_check_{match,target} expects u16, but NFTA_RULE_COMPAT_PROTO is u32. NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_BE32, 65535) cannot be used because .max in nla_policy is s16, see 3e48be05f3c7 ("netlink: add attribute range validation to policy").
