Upgrade RHEL:8 kernel-tools to version 0:4.18.0-553.16.1.el8_10 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2024:5101.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools package and not the kernel-tools package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: complete validation of user input
In my recent commit, I missed that do_replace() handlers use copy_from_sockptr() (which I fixed), followed by unsafe copy_from_sockptr_offset() calls.
In all functions, we can perform the @optlen validation before even calling xt_alloc_table_info() with the following check:
if ((u64)optlen < (u64)tmp.size + sizeof(tmp)) return -EINVAL;
