From: Lin Ma <linma@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 30c45b5361d39b4b793780ffac5538090b9e2eb1 ] The attribute TCA_PEDIT_PARMS_EX is not be included in pedit_policy and one malicious user could fake a TCA_PEDIT_PARMS_EX whose length is smaller than the intended sizeof(struct tc_pedit). Hence, the dereference in tcf_pedit_init() could access dirty heap data. static int tcf_pedit_init(...) { // ... pattr = tb[TCA_PEDIT_PARMS]; // TCA_PEDIT_PARMS is included if (!pattr) pattr = tb[TCA_PEDIT_PARMS_EX]; // but this is not // ... parm = nla_data(pattr); index = parm->index; // parm is able to be smaller than 4 bytes // and this dereference gets dirty skb_buff // data created in netlink_sendmsg } This commit adds TCA_PEDIT_PARMS_EX length in pedit_policy which avoid the above case, just like the TCA_PEDIT_PARMS.
