"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfilter: nft_payload: fix mask build for partial field offload\n\nnft_payload_offload_mask() builds the offload match mask for a payload\nexpression that covers only part of a header field. For a partial IPv6\naddress match (field_len = 16, priv_len = 1) that shift is 1 << 120, which\nis undefined on the 32-bit int operand. It also trims only one word, so\nthe remaining words stay 0xffffffff (and when priv_len is a multiple of 4\nthe trim is skipped entirely), leaving the mask covering more bytes than\nthe rule matches.\n\n UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/netfilter/nft_payload.c:278:20\n shift exponent 120 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'\n ...\n\nThe match is byte-granular and struct nft_data is zero-initialised, so the\ncorrect mask is simply the first priv_len bytes set to 0xff. Set those\nbytes directly and drop the word/shift trimming; this removes the undefined\nshift and no longer over-masks the trailing bytes."

"value": "AV:L - The flaw is reached only when installing nftables rules via NETLINK_NETFILTER (NFT_MSG_NEWRULE) on NFT_CHAIN_HW_OFFLOAD netdev ingress chains; nft_flow_rule_create() calls nft_payload_offload_mask() during expr offload setup, which is a local netlink syscall path per kernel CNA guidance for nftables/netfilter.\nAC:L - An attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN can deterministically craft a partial-field payload match (e.g., priv_len=1 on IPv6 saddr with field_len=16) on an HW-offload chain; no race, memory layout, or other conditions outside attacker control are required to hit the undefined shift and incorrect mask build.\nPR:L - All nf_tables netlink operations are gated by netlink_net_capable(skb, CAP_NET_ADMIN) in nfnetlink_rcv(), checked against the socket network namespace user_ns; unprivileged local users routinely obtain CAP_NET_ADMIN via user+network namespaces (unshare -Urn) on cloud hosts and containers.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required; the attacker installs the malformed HW-offload nftables rule through their own netlink socket and triggers the bug during rule commit without needing another user to mount filesystems, open files, or take any action.\nS:U - Impact is confined to the host kernel and its hardware-offloaded netdev ingress filtering policy (incorrect TC flower masks, potential kernel crash); this is standard kernel/network-authority impact, not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-security-boundary scope change.\nC:N - The bug corrupts on-stack bitmask construction during rule installation and does not perform out-of-bounds reads, use-after-free, or other memory-disclosure primitives; no attacker-influenced kernel memory read path exists beyond incorrect mask values.\nI:H - Incorrect or UB-corrupted HW flower match masks misprogram NIC ingress ACLs on hardware-offloaded edge firewalls, causing accept/drop/redirect actions to apply to traffic contrary to administrator intent; this is exploitable integrity compromise of enforced network policy on internet-facing offload deployments.\nA:H - The undefined shift (1<<120) triggers documented UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds at rule install and can panic/oops on UBSAN/trap kernels; misprogrammed HW offload masks can also blackhole or mis-drop production ingress traffic on netdev-offloaded chains, satisfying CNA high availability guidance."
