While the do_proc_dointvec_conv function is supposed to limit writing handled by proc_dointvec proc_handler to INT_MAX. Such a negative value being written in an unsigned int leads to a very high value, exceeding this limit. Moreover, the nf_conntrack_expect_max sysctl documentation specifies the minimum value is 1. The proc_handlers have thus been updated to proc_dointvec_minmax in order to specify the following write bounds : * Bound nf_conntrack_max sysctl writings between SYSCTL_ZERO and SYSCTL_INT_MAX. * Bound nf_conntrack_expect_max sysctl writings between SYSCTL_ONE and SYSCTL_INT_MAX as defined in the sysctl documentation. With this patch applied, sysctl writes outside the defined in the bound will thus lead to a write error : ``` sysctl -w net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_expect_max=-1 sysctl: setting key "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_expect_max": Invalid argument ``` Signed-off-by: Nicolas Bouchinet Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso --- diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c b/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c index 502cf10aab41d..2f666751c7e7c 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c @@ -618,7 +618,9 @@ static struct ctl_table nf_ct_sysctl_table[] = { .data = &nf_conntrack_max, .maxlen = sizeof(int), .mode = 0644, - .proc_handler = proc_dointvec, + .proc_handler = proc_dointvec_minmax, + .extra1 = SYSCTL_ZERO, + .extra2 = SYSCTL_INT_MAX, }, [NF_SYSCTL_CT_COUNT] = { .procname = "nf_conntrack_count", @@ -654,7 +656,9 @@ static struct ctl_table nf_ct_sysctl_table[] = { .data = &nf_ct_expect_max, .maxlen = sizeof(int), .mode = 0644, - .proc_handler = proc_dointvec, + .proc_handler = proc_dointvec_minmax, + .extra1 = SYSCTL_ONE, + .extra2 = SYSCTL_INT_MAX, }, [NF_SYSCTL_CT_ACCT] = { .procname = "nf_conntrack_acct", @@ -947,7 +951,9 @@ static struct ctl_table nf_ct_netfilter_table[] = { .data = &nf_conntrack_max, .maxlen = sizeof(int), .mode = 0644, - .proc_handler = proc_dointvec, + .proc_handler = proc_dointvec_minmax, + .extra1 = SYSCTL_ZERO, + .extra2 = SYSCTL_INT_MAX, }, };
