netfilter: nft_fib: fix stale stack leak via the OIFNAME register

2026-06-10T16:00:19+00:00

For NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIFNAME the destination register is declared with
len = IFNAMSIZ (four 32-bit registers), but on the lookup-fail,
RTN_LOCAL and oif-mismatch paths nft_fib{4,6}_eval() only writes one
register via "*dest = 0". The remaining three registers are left as
whatever was on the stack in nft_do_chain()'s struct nft_regs, and a
downstream expression that loads the register span can leak that
uninitialised kernel stack to userspace.

The NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT existence check has the same shape: it is only
meaningful for NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIF, yet it was accepted for any result type
while the eval stores a single byte via nft_reg_store8(), leaving the rest
of the declared span stale.

Fix both:

 - replace the bare "*dest = 0" in the eval with nft_fib_store_result(),
   which strscpy_pad()s the whole IFNAMSIZ for OIFNAME (and is already
   used on the other early-return path), and

 - restrict NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT to NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIF and declare its
   destination as a single u8, so the marked span matches the one byte
   the eval writes.

netfilter: x_tables: avoid leaking percpu counter pointers

2026-06-10T15:59:01+00:00

The native and compat get-entries paths copy the fixed rule entry header
from the kernelized rule blob to userspace before overwriting the entry's
counter fields with a sanitized counter snapshot.

On SMP kernels, entry->counters.pcnt contains the percpu allocation
address used by x_tables rule counters. A caller can provide a userspace
buffer that faults during the initial fixed-header copy after pcnt has
been copied but before the later sanitized counter copy runs. The syscall
then returns -EFAULT while leaving the raw percpu pointer in userspace.

Copy only the fixed entry prefix before counters from the kernelized rule
blob, then copy the sanitized counter snapshot into the counter field.
Apply this ordering to the IPv4, IPv6, and ARP native and compat
get-entries implementations so a fault cannot expose the internal percpu
counter pointer.

netfilter: nft_fib_ipv6: bail out of sibling walk if rt got unlinked

2026-06-01T11:43:52+00:00

This was reported by Sashiko [1].

The RCU walk over rt->fib6_siblings can spin forever if rt is unlinked
mid-iteration: rt->fib6_siblings.next still points into the old ring,
so the loop never meets &rt->fib6_siblings as its terminator.

fib6_purge_rt() always does WRITE_ONCE(rt->fib6_nsiblings, 0) before
list_del_rcu(), so readers can use rt->fib6_nsiblings == 0 as the
detach signal. The same pattern is used in fib6_info_uses_dev() and
rt6_nlmsg_size().

netfilter: add option for GCOV profiling

2026-05-24T20:55:47+00:00

Similar to a few other subsystems: add a new config toggle to
enable netfilter gcov profiling in netfilter, including ebtables,
arptables and so on.

ipset and ipvs gain their own, dedicated toggles.

netfilter: x_tables: disable 32bit compat interface in user namespaces

2026-05-24T20:55:37+00:00

This feature is required to use 32bit arp/ip/ip6/ebtables binaries on
64bit kernels.  I don't think there are many users left.

Support has been a compile-time option since 2021 and defaults to off
since 2023.

The XTABLES_COMPAT config option is already off in many distributions
including Debian and Fedora.

Give a few more months before complete removal but disable support in
user namespaces already.

netfilter: nft_fib_ipv6: handle routes via external nexthop

2026-05-22T10:28:46+00:00

fib6_info has a union:

    union {
        struct list_head fib6_siblings;
        struct list_head nh_list;
    };

Old-style multipath (ip -6 route add ... nexthop ... nexthop ...) uses
fib6_siblings.  External nexthop (ip -6 route add ... nhid N) uses
nh_list, linked into &nh->f6i_list.

nft_fib6_info_nh_uses_dev() blindly walks &rt->fib6_siblings, causing
an OOB read past the struct nexthop slab when rt->nh is set:

Branch by route shape: when rt->nh is set, walk via
nexthop_for_each_fib6_nh() (also covers nh groups, which the original
code missed); otherwise walk fib6_siblings, guarded by READ_ONCE() of
rt->fib6_nsiblings as required by commit 31d7d67ba127 ("ipv6: annotate

netfilter: nft_fib_ipv6: walk fib6_siblings under RCU

2026-05-22T10:28:46+00:00

nft_fib6_info_nh_uses_dev() runs from nft_fib6_eval() in softirq under
rcu_read_lock().  fib6_siblings is modified by writers that hold
tb6_lock but do not wait for RCU readers, so the sibling walk should
use list_for_each_entry_rcu(): it adds READ_ONCE() on the ->next
pointer and lets CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST validate the locking.

No functional change for non-debug builds.
