Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> netfilter: nft_exthdr: fix register tracking for F_PRESENT flag<br /> <br /> nft_exthdr_init() passes user-controlled priv-&gt;len to<br /> nft_parse_register_store(), which marks that many bytes in the<br /> register bitmap as initialized. However, when NFT_EXTHDR_F_PRESENT<br /> is set, the eval paths write only 1 byte (nft_reg_store8) or<br /> 4 bytes (*dest = 0 on TCP/DCCP error path). When len &gt; 4,<br /> registers beyond the first are never written, retaining<br /> uninitialized stack data from nft_regs.<br /> <br /> Bail out if userspace requests too much data when F_PRESENT is set.
