netfilter: xt_hashlimit: validate hashtable supports XT_HASHLIMIT_RATE_MATCH
The XT_HASHLIMIT_RATE_MATCH flag mode changes the semantics of the dsthash_ent structure which represents an entry in the hashtable. There is a union area which uses a different layout to express the rate match mode. Update .checkentry path to validate the XT_HASHLIMIT_RATE_MATCH mode flag is requested by two or more different rules that refer to the same hashtable. Otherwise, uninitialized access to the burst field in the union is possible. Reject the use of the XT_HASHLIMIT_RATE_MATCH mode flag if set on by revision less than 3 too. Fixes: bea74641e378 ("netfilter: xt_hashlimit: add rate match mode") Reported-and-tested-by: Talha Berk Arslan <talha.anything.info@gmail.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260721074629.668-1-talha.anything.info@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
