This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: sched: set xt_tgchk_param par.net properly in ipt_init_target to the 4.12-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: net-sched-set-xt_tgchk_param-par.net-properly-in-ipt_init_target.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Aug 11 09:09:38 PDT 2017 From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2017 15:25:25 +0800 Subject: net: sched: set xt_tgchk_param par.net properly in ipt_init_target From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ec0acb09313074ba1a4976945791d9c6815f39fb ] Now xt_tgchk_param par in ipt_init_target is a local varibale, par.net is not initialized there. Later when xt_check_target calls target's checkentry in which it may access par.net, it would cause kernel panic. Jaroslav found this panic when running: # ip link add TestIface type dummy # tc qd add dev TestIface ingress handle ffff: # tc filter add dev TestIface parent ffff: u32 match u32 0 0 \ action xt -j CONNMARK --set-mark 4 This patch is to pass net param into ipt_init_target and set par.net with it properly in there. v1->v2: As Wang Cong pointed, I missed ipt_net_id != xt_net_id, so fix it by also passing net_id to __tcf_ipt_init. v2->v3: Missed the fixes tag, so add it.
