[PATCH 6.4 195/227] netfilter: nf_tables: fix spurious set element insertion failure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ddbd8be68941985f166f5107109a90ce13147c44 ]

On some platforms there is a padding hole in the nft_verdict
structure, between the verdict code and the chain pointer.

On element insertion, if the new element clashes with an existing one and
NLM_F_EXCL flag isn't set, we want to ignore the -EEXIST error as long as
the data associated with duplicated element is the same as the existing
one.  The data equality check uses memcmp.

For normal data (NFT_DATA_VALUE) this works fine, but for NFT_DATA_VERDICT
padding area leads to spurious failure even if the verdict data is the
same.

This then makes the insertion fail with 'already exists' error, even
though the new "key : data" matches an existing entry and userspace
told the kernel that it doesn't want to receive an error indication.

Fixes: c016c7e45ddf ("netfilter: nf_tables: honor NLM_F_EXCL flag in set element insertion")
