From 78146572b9cd20452da47951812f35b1ad4906be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Wilson Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 09:37:58 +0000 Subject: netfilter: Zero the tuple in nfnl_cthelper_parse_tuple() nfnl_cthelper_parse_tuple() is called from nfnl_cthelper_new(), nfnl_cthelper_get() and nfnl_cthelper_del(). In each case they pass a pointer to an nf_conntrack_tuple data structure local variable: struct nf_conntrack_tuple tuple; ... ret = nfnl_cthelper_parse_tuple(&tuple, tb[NFCTH_TUPLE]); The problem is that this local variable is not initialized, and nfnl_cthelper_parse_tuple() only initializes two fields: src.l3num and dst.protonum. This leaves all other fields with undefined values based on whatever is on the stack: tuple->src.l3num = ntohs(nla_get_be16(tb[NFCTH_TUPLE_L3PROTONUM])); tuple->dst.protonum = nla_get_u8(tb[NFCTH_TUPLE_L4PROTONUM]); The symptom observed was that when the rpc and tns helpers were added then traffic to port 1536 was being sent to user-space.
