netfilter: nat: fix crash when conntrack entry is re-used
Stas Nichiporovich reports oops in nf_nat_bysource_cmp(), trying to access nf_conn struct at address 0xffffffffffffff50. This is the result of fetching a null rhash list (struct embedded at offset 176; 0 - 176 gets us ...fff50). The problem is that conntrack entries are allocated from a SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU cache, i.e. entries can be free'd and reused on another cpu while nf nat bysource hash access the same conntrack entry. Freeing is fine (we hold rcu read lock); zeroing rhlist_head isn't. -> Move the rhlist struct outside of the memset()-inited area. Fixes: 7c9664351980aaa6a ("netfilter: move nat hlist_head to nf_conn") Reported-by: Stas Nichiporovich <stasn77@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
