Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: Add protection for bmp length out of range
UBSAN load reports an exception of BRK#5515 SHIFT_ISSUE:Bitwise shifts
that are out of bounds for their data type.
vmlinux get_bitmap(b=75) + 712
<net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c:0>
vmlinux decode_seq(bs=0xFFFFFFD008037000, f=0xFFFFFFD008037018, level=134443100) + 1956
<net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c:592>
vmlinux decode_choice(base=0xFFFFFFD0080370F0, level=23843636) + 1216
<net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c:814>
vmlinux decode_seq(f=0xFFFFFFD0080371A8, level=134443500) + 812
<net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c:576>
vmlinux decode_choice(base=0xFFFFFFD008037280, level=0) + 1216
<net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c:814>
vmlinux DecodeRasMessage() + 304
<net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c:833>
vmlinux ras_help() + 684
<net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_main.c:1728>
vmlinux nf_confirm() + 188
<net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.c:137>
Due to abnormal data in skb->data, the extension bitmap length
exceeds 32 when decoding ras message then uses the length to make
a shift operation. It will change into negative after several loop.
UBSAN load could detect a negative shift as an undefined behaviour
and reports exception.
So we add the protection to avoid the length exceeding 32. Or else
it will return out of range error and stop decoding.
A vulnerability was found in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel, specifically in the `nf_conntrack_h323` module. This issue involves inadequate protection for BMP length values, potentially leading to out-of-range conditions.
