[PATCH 41/98] netfilter: ipt_ULOG: fix non-null terminated string in the nf_log path

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Thu Jul 11 2013 - 10:43:06 EST


3.5.7.17 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chen Gang <gang.chen@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4f36ea6eed2081340c7a7aa98c73187ecfccebff upstream.

If nf_log uses ipt_ULOG as logging output, we can deliver non-null
terminated strings to user-space since the maximum length of the
prefix that is passed by nf_log is NF_LOG_PREFIXLEN but pm->prefix
is 32 bytes long (ULOG_PREFIX_LEN).

This is actually happening already from nf_conntrack_tcp if ipt_ULOG
is used, since it is passing strings longer than 32 bytes.
