How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:9 kernel-core to version 0:5.14.0-284.77.1.el9_2 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2024:5066.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-core package and not the kernel-core package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 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;
