[PATCH 4.17 225/324] netfilter: nf_conntrack: Fix possible possible crash on module loading.

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2045cdfa1b40d66f126f3fd05604fc7c754f0022 ]

Loading the nf_conntrack module with doubled hashsize parameter, i.e.
	  modprobe nf_conntrack hashsize=12345 hashsize=12345
causes NULL-ptr deref.

If 'hashsize' specified twice, the nf_conntrack_set_hashsize() function
will be called also twice.
The first nf_conntrack_set_hashsize() call will set the
'nf_conntrack_htable_size' variable:

	nf_conntrack_set_hashsize()
		...
		/* On boot, we can set this without any fancy locking. */
		if (!nf_conntrack_htable_size)
			return param_set_uint(val, kp);

But on the second invocation, the nf_conntrack_htable_size is already set,
so the nf_conntrack_set_hashsize() will take a different path and call
the nf_conntrack_hash_resize() function. Which will crash on the attempt
to dereference 'nf_conntrack_hash' pointer:

	BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000
	RIP: 0010:nf_conntrack_hash_resize+0x255/0x490 [nf_conntrack]
	Call Trace:
	 nf_conntrack_set_hashsize+0xcd/0x100 [nf_conntrack]
	 parse_args+0x1f9/0x5a0
	 load_module+0x1281/0x1a50
	 __se_sys_finit_module+0xbe/0xf0
	 do_syscall_64+0x7c/0x390
	 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

Fix this, by checking !nf_conntrack_hash instead of
!nf_conntrack_htable_size. nf_conntrack_hash will be initialized only
after the module loaded, so the second invocation of the
nf_conntrack_set_hashsize() won't crash, it will just reinitialize
nf_conntrack_htable_size again.
