Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
netfilter: nfnetlink_osf: fix divide-by-zero in OSF_WSS_MODULO<br />
<br />
nf_osf_match_one() computes ctx->window % f->wss.val in the<br />
OSF_WSS_MODULO branch with no guard for f->wss.val == 0. A<br />
CAP_NET_ADMIN user can add such a fingerprint via nfnetlink; a<br />
subsequent matching TCP SYN divides by zero and panics the kernel.<br />
<br />
Reject the bogus fingerprint in nfnl_osf_add_callback() above the<br />
per-option for-loop. f->wss is per-fingerprint, not per-option, so<br />
the check must run regardless of f->opt_num (including 0). Also<br />
reject wss.wc >= OSF_WSS_MAX; nf_osf_match_one() already treats that<br />
as "should not happen".<br />
<br />
Crash:<br />
Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI<br />
