[PATCH 3.16 294/306] netfilter: nfnetlink: correctly validate length of batch messages
From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed Feb 15 2017 - 19:15:58 EST
3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Phil Turnbull <phil.turnbull@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit c58d6c93680f28ac58984af61d0a7ebf4319c241 upstream.
If nlh->nlmsg_len is zero then an infinite loop is triggered because
'skb_pull(skb, msglen);' pulls zero bytes.
The calculation in nlmsg_len() underflows if 'nlh->nlmsg_len <
NLMSG_HDRLEN' which bypasses the length validation and will later
trigger an out-of-bound read.
If the length validation does fail then the malformed batch message is
copied back to userspace. However, we cannot do this because the
nlh->nlmsg_len can be invalid. This leads to an out-of-bounds read in
netlink_ack:

Fix this with better validation of nlh->nlmsg_len and by setting
NFNL_BATCH_FAILURE if any batch message fails length validation.
CAP_NET_ADMIN is required to trigger the bugs.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- We don't have an error list so don't call nfnl_err_reset()
- Set 'success' variable instead of 'status']
