CVE-2023-52628 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nftables: exthdr: fix 4-byte stack OOB write

If priv->len is a multiple of 4 then dst[len / 4] can write past the destination array which leads to stack corruption.

This construct is necessary to clean the remainder of the register in case ->len is NOT a multiple of the register size so make it conditional just like nft_payload.c does.

The bug was added in 4.1 cycle and then copied/inherited when tcp/sctp and ip option support was added.

Bug reported by Zero Day Initiative project (ZDI-CAN-21950 ZDI-CAN-21951 ZDI-CAN-21961).
