Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
netfilter: x_tables: guard option walkers against 1-byte tail reads<br />
<br />
When the last byte of options is a non-single-byte option kind, walkers<br />
that advance with i += op[i + 1] ? : 1 can read op[i + 1] past the end<br />
of the option area.<br />
<br />
Add an explicit i == optlen - 1 check before dereferencing op[i + 1]<br />
in xt_tcpudp and xt_dccp option walkers.
