Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
netfilter: nft_meta_bridge: fix stale stack leak via IIFHWADDR register<br />
<br />
NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR declares its destination register with<br />
len = ETH_ALEN (6 bytes), which the register-init tracking rounds up to<br />
two 32-bit registers (8 bytes). nft_meta_bridge_get_eval() then does<br />
memcpy(dest, br_dev->dev_addr, ETH_ALEN), writing only 6 bytes and<br />
leaving the upper 2 bytes of the second register as uninitialised<br />
nft_do_chain() stack. A downstream load of that register span leaks<br />
those stale bytes to userspace.<br />
<br />
Zero the second register before the memcpy so the full declared span is<br />
written.
