"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfilter: ip6t_rt: fix zero-address non-strict match out-of-bounds read\n\nrt_mt6_check() permits rules to be configured with rtinfo->addrnr == 0\neven when address matching (IP6T_RT_FST_MASK) is requested.\n\nIn the IP6T_RT_FST_NSTRICT path, rt_mt6() evaluates packet routing\naddresses against rtinfo->addrs[i] and terminates backwards at the bottom\nof the loop:\n\n if (ipv6_addr_equal(ap, &rtinfo->addrs[i])) {\n i++;\n }\n if (i == rtinfo->addrnr)\n break;\n\nWhen addrnr is 0, if the first packet address matches rtinfo->addrs[0],\ni is incremented to 1. Because i is now strictly greater than addrnr (0),\nthe loop termination condition (i == rtinfo->addrnr) is bypassed and will\nnever be satisfied.\n\nIf a crafted IPv6 packet contains matching routing addresses, i will\nadvance past IP6T_RT_HOPS (16). The subsequent call to ipv6_addr_equal()\nreads beyond struct ip6t_rt, triggering UBSAN/KASAN out-of-bounds warnings\nor kernel panics.\n\nFix this by:\n1. Rejecting rules in rt_mt6_check() where IP6T_RT_FST_MASK is set but\n rtinfo->addrnr is zero.\n2. In rt_mt6(), moving the termination condition (i < rtinfo->addrnr)\n into the for-loop header condition and removing the backwards break\n at the end of the loop body."

"value": "AV:L - The bad state enters through local setsockopt(IP6T_SO_SET_REPLACE) or NFT_MSG_NEWRULE rule installation; ip6_rcv then reaches rt_mt6 through NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING and ip6t_do_table. A remote packet alone cannot create the required zero-address rule.\nAC:L - The attacker controls the rule's addrs[] despite addrnr being zero and can send a 17-address routing header whose first 16 addresses match, making rt_mt6 deterministically read addrs[16]. No race or external timing condition is required.\nPR:L - do_ip6t_set_ctl requires ns_capable(sock_net(sk)->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN), while nfnetlink uses netlink_net_capable; an unprivileged user can satisfy either check in a user-created user and network namespace.\nUI:N - The attacker installs the malformed rule and injects the triggering IPv6 packet through their own syscalls. No action by another user is needed.\nS:U - The invalid read occurs during netfilter rule evaluation inside the same host kernel security authority. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or comparable scope boundary.\nC:H - ipv6_addr_equal() reads 16 bytes from each selected &rtinfo->addrs[i], and rt_mt6 can advance beyond the fixed 16-entry array across up to 127 routing-header address iterations. The overread is therefore not strictly bounded to a few bytes.\nI:N - rt_mt6 only fetches the out-of-bounds address for comparison and updates its local index; it performs no out-of-bounds write or other memory modification.\nA:H - At i == 16, the fixed-array subscript and 16-byte ipv6_addr_equal() load trigger UBSAN/KASAN out-of-bounds handling and can panic the kernel, as documented by the fix. The attacker can repeat the rule-and-packet sequence without a race."
