Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: flowtable: avoid num_encaps underflow on bridge VLAN untag
The DEV_PATH_BR_VLAN_UNTAG case post-decrements info->num_encaps
inside WARN_ON_ONCE(). num_encaps is u8, so if it's already 0 the
decrement still happens and wraps it to 255. The break only leaves
the inner switch -- a later path entry can set info->indev back to
a real device, and we end up returning with num_encaps == 255.
nft_dev_forward_path() then walks info.encap[] (size 2) up to
num_encaps, which means an OOB stack read and a bogus count copied
into the route descriptor.
Should only happen on a malformed bridge path stack, hence the WARN,
but worth handling sanely. Move the decrement out of the WARN.
[ While at this, remove the WARN_ON_ONCE since this can only happen
with a buggy bridge path stack --pablo ].
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter flowtable component. An integer underflow can occur during bridge Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) untagging operations. If the num_encaps value is zero, a decrement operation can cause it to wrap to 255. This can lead to an out-of-bounds stack read when processing network paths, potentially resulting in information disclosure or system instability if a malformed bridge path stack is processed.
