Florian Westphal 624c305212 netfilter: ebtables: reject blobs that don't provide all entry points
[ Upstream commit 7997eff828 ]

Harshit Mogalapalli says:
 In ebt_do_table() function dereferencing 'private->hook_entry[hook]'
 can lead to NULL pointer dereference. [..] Kernel panic:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000005: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000028-0x000000000000002f]

For some reason ebtables rejects blobs that provide entry points that are
not supported by the table, but what it should instead reject is the
opposite: blobs that DO NOT provide an entry point supported by the table.

t->valid_hooks is the bitmask of hooks (input, forward ...) that will see
packets.  Providing an entry point that is not support is harmless
(never called/used), but the inverse isn't: it results in a crash
because the ebtables traverser doesn't expect a NULL blob for a location
its receiving packets for.

Instead of fixing all the individual checks, do what iptables is doing and
reject all blobs that differ from the expected hooks.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
