4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Phil Turnbull <phil.turnbull@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 017b1b6d28c479f1ad9a7a41f775545a3e1cba35 upstream. nfacct_filter_alloc doesn't validate the NFACCT_FILTER_MASK and NFACCT_FILTER_VALUE parameters which can trigger a NULL pointer dereference. CAP_NET_ADMIN is required to trigger the bug.
