netfilter: ebtables: reject blobs that don't provide all entry points
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Harshit Mogalapalli says:
 In ebt_do_table() function dereferencing 'private->hook_entry[hook]'
 can lead to NULL pointer dereference. [..] Kernel panic:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000005: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN

For some reason ebtables rejects blobs that provide entry points that are
not supported by the table, but what it should instead reject is the
opposite: blobs that DO NOT provide an entry point supported by the table.

t->valid_hooks is the bitmask of hooks (input, forward ...) that will see
packets.  Providing an entry point that is not support is harmless
(never called/used), but the inverse isn't: it results in a crash
because the ebtables traverser doesn't expect a NULL blob for a location
its receiving packets for.

Instead of fixing all the individual checks, do what iptables is doing and
reject all blobs that differ from the expected hooks.

Fixes: 1da177e ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
