Subject: netfilter: nf_tables: fix pointer math issue in nft_byteorder_eval()
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit c301f0981fdd3fd1ffac6836b423c4d7a8e0eb63 upstream.
The problem is in nft_byteorder_eval() where we are iterating through a
loop and writing to dst[0], dst[1], dst[2] and so on... On each
iteration we are writing 8 bytes. But dst[] is an array of u32 so each
element only has space for 4 bytes. That means that every iteration
overwrites part of the previous element.
I spotted this bug while reviewing commit caf3ef7468f7 ("netfilter:
nf_tables: prevent OOB access in nft_byteorder_eval") which is a related
issue. I think that the reason we have not detected this bug in testing
is that most of time we only write one element.
