Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
netfilter: ebtables: terminate table name before find_table_lock()<br />
<br />
update_counters() and compat_update_counters() forward a user-supplied<br />
32-byte table name to find_table_lock() without NUL-terminating it. On a<br />
lookup miss, find_inlist_lock() calls try_then_request_module(..., "%s%s",<br />
"ebtable_", name), and vsnprintf() reads past the name field and the<br />
stack object until it hits a zero byte.<br />
<br />
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in string (lib/vsprintf.c:648 lib/vsprintf.c:730)<br />
Read of size 1 at addr ffff8880119dfb20 by task exploit/147<br />
Call Trace:<br />
...<br />
string (lib/vsprintf.c:648 lib/vsprintf.c:730)<br />

raw_setsockopt (net/ipv4/raw.c:847)<br />
__sys_setsockopt (net/socket.c:2393)<br />
...<br />
<br />
compat_do_replace() shares the same unterminated name via<br />
compat_copy_ebt_replace_from_user(); terminate it there too so all<br />
find_table_lock() callers behave alike. The other callers already<br />
terminate the name after the copy.
