{"id":"CVE-2026-99112","published":"2026-10-28T11:17:30.640","lastModified":"2026-10-28T11:17:30.640","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/sched: cls_flower: validate mask pointer after nla_next()\n\nfl_set_enc_opt() iterates the key's nested tunnel-option attributes\nwith nla_for_each_attr() while advancing a single mask pointer via\nnla_next() at the bottom of each loop, so the mask cursor is driven\nby the number of key attributes rather than by the mask's own\nattributes.  The nla_ok() added by commit c96adff956191 (\"cls_flower:\ncall nla_ok() before nla_next()\") only validates the mask pointer\nthat was just consumed; the pointer produced by nla_next() is used by\nthe next iteration (fl_set_geneve_opt() and siblings) without any\nvalidation.\n\nThe mask's nested attributes are validated with NL_VALIDATE_LIBERAL,\nwhich merely warns on trailing bytes that do not form a complete\nattribute.  A mask carrying one valid attribute plus 1-3 residue\nbytes (or a non-aligned attribute length making msk_depth negative)\ntherefore reaches the next iteration with msk_depth != 0, so neither\nthe !msk_depth check in fl_set_enc_opt() nor the !depth check in the\nper-type helpers fires.  nla_type() then reads past the mask payload\nand nla_parse_nested_deprecated() iterates with an nla_len taken\nfrom those bytes, reading well beyond the mask attribute (KASAN:\nslab-out-of-bounds read in __nla_validate_parse from fl_change()).\n\nValidate the advanced mask pointer as well: when the mask is not\nlegitimately exhausted (msk_depth != 0) and the new pointer fails\nnla_ok(), reject the filter with -EINVAL.  An exactly exhausted mask\nstill skips the check, preserving exact-match behaviour for the\nremaining key attributes.","cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"cvssVector":null,"cwes":[],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/45e60747a9db2307929260d9aa9c1c6cbb70ee77","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb187146c7e5c666874784e4f3fc1bc5126e6e92","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fee10655709c5c597e8e9f722f3035d9ea31ff3a","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
