In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: validate open interval overlap [ Upstream commit 648946966a08e4cb1a71619e3d1b12bd7642de7b ] Open intervals do not have an end element, in particular an open interval at the end of the set is hard to validate because of it is lacking the end element, and interval validation relies on such end element to perform the checks. This patch adds a new flag field to struct nft_set_elem, this is not an issue because this is a temporary object that is allocated in the stack from the insert/deactivate path. This flag field is used to specify that this is the last element in this add/delete command. The last flag is used, in combination with the start element cookie, to check if there is a partial overlap, eg. Already exists: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.254 Add interval: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.255
start element overlap
To catch this overlap, annotate that the new start element is a possible
overlap, then report the overlap if the next element is another start
element that confirms that previous element in an open interval at the
end of the set.
For deletions, do not update the start cookie when deleting an open
interval, otherwise this can trigger spurious EEXIST when adding new
elements.
Unfortunately, there is no NFT_SET_ELEM_INTERVAL_OPEN flag which would
make easier to detect open interval overlaps.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem, specifically within the nft_set_rbtree component. This vulnerability arises from improper validation of open intervals, particularly when an open interval is at the end of a set of network filter rules. An attacker could potentially craft specific network filter rules that, when processed, lead to incorrect handling of existing rules, causing spurious errors (EEXIST) when adding new elements. This could result in unexpected network behavior or a denial of service condition.
