[PATCH 4.8 122/138] netfilter: xt_NFLOG: fix unexpected truncated packet

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 09 2016 - 06:10:49 EST


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

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

From: Liping Zhang <liping.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6d19375b58763fefc2f215fb45117d3353ced888 upstream.

Justin and Chris spotted that iptables NFLOG target was broken when they
upgraded the kernel to 4.8: "ulogd-2.0.5- IPs are no longer logged" or
"results in segfaults in ulogd-2.0.5".

Because "struct nf_loginfo li;" is a local variable, and flags will be
filled with garbage value, not inited to zero. So if it contains 0x1,
packets will not be logged to the userspace anymore.

Fixes: 7643507fe8b5 ("netfilter: xt_NFLOG: nflog-range does not truncate packets")
