Title
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: widen NAT rewrite delta to s32 in sip_help_tcp()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: widen NAT rewrite delta to s32 in sip_help_tcp() sip_help_tcp() stores the size change of each NAT-rewritten SIP message in s16 diff and accumulates it in s16 tdiff, but a single message can grow by more than S16_MAX while the packet stays under the 65535 enlarge_skb() limit: nf_nat_sip() rewrites every matching URI, and a long Contact list expands the message by tens of kilobytes. diff then wraps, and "datalen = datalen + diff - msglen" yields a huge unsigned datalen, so the next iteration's ct_sip_get_header() reads past the linearized skb tail. Widen diff, tdiff and the seq_adjust hook to s32. Both are bounded by the 65535 byte packet limit, and the seqadj core is already s32 (nf_ct_seqadj_set() takes s32), so no previously accepted input is rejected.

This is not a VM escape, sandbox breakout, or cross-tenant boundary violation.\nC:H - Integer overflow yields a huge unsigned datalen, causing ct_sip_get_header() to read past the linearized skb tail; KASAN reports a use-after-free read, and this out-of-bounds/UAF access can disclose adjacent kernel heap memory beyond the packet buffer.\nI:H - Although the immediate fault is a read past skb bounds, KASAN-classified UAF/out-of-bounds kernel heap corruption is exploitable with heap grooming for control of freed/reallocated objects, enabling arbitrary write and potential code execution in kernel context.\nA:H - The corrupted datalen drives out-of-bounds access in softirq packet processing (ksoftirqd), which can cause kernel oops/panic and denial of service on the NAT/firewall handling the SIP flow; the bug is reliably triggerable with crafted packets."

This is not a VM escape, sandbox breakout, or cross-tenant boundary violation.\nC:H - Integer overflow yields a huge unsigned datalen, causing ct_sip_get_header() to read past the linearized skb tail; KASAN reports a use-after-free read, and this out-of-bounds/UAF access can disclose adjacent kernel heap memory beyond the packet buffer.\nI:H - Although the immediate fault is a read past skb bounds, KASAN-classified UAF/out-of-bounds kernel heap corruption is exploitable with heap grooming for control of freed/reallocated objects, enabling arbitrary write and potential code execution in kernel context.\nA:H - The corrupted datalen drives out-of-bounds access in softirq packet processing (ksoftirqd), which can cause kernel oops/panic and denial of service on the NAT/firewall handling the SIP flow; the bug is reliably triggerable with crafted packets."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
