[PATCH] netfilter: nf_nat: fix unsigned range_size underflow for ICMP and GRE when max < min
From: Hui Peng
Date: Sat Sep 19 2026 - 17:53:26 EST
In nf_nat_l4proto_unique_tuple(), when NF_NAT_RANGE_PROTO_SPECIFIED is set
for IPPROTO_ICMP, IPPROTO_ICMPV6, or IPPROTO_GRE with max < min,
computing max - min + 1 in a u16 range_size underflows (and wraps to 0 when
min == max + 1, causing a divide-by-zero in % range_size for GRE). Handle
max < min gracefully by swapping min and max for ICMP/ICMPv6 and clamping
range_size to 1 for GRE, matching the TCP/UDP/SCTP path.
Fixes: 203f2e78200c ("netfilter: nat: remove l4proto->unique_tuple")
