Title
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix Content-Length u32 truncation in sip_help_tcp()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix Content-Length u32 truncation in sip_help_tcp() sip_help_tcp() parses the SIP Content-Length header with simple_strtoul(), which returns unsigned long, but stores the result in unsigned int clen. On 64-bit systems, values exceeding UINT_MAX are silently truncated before computing the SIP message boundary. For example, Content-Length 4294967328 (2^32 + 32) is truncated to 32, causing the parser to miscalculate where the current message ends. The loop then treats trailing data in the TCP segment as a second SIP message and processes it through the SDP parser. Fix this by changing clen to unsigned long to match the return type of simple_strtoul(), and reject Content-Length values that exceed the remaining TCP payload length.

On 64-bit systems, values exceeding UINT_MAX are\\nsilently truncated before computing the SIP message boundary.\\n\\nFor example, Content-Length 4294967328 (2^32 + 32) is truncated to 32,\\ncausing the parser to miscalculate where the current message ends.  The\\nloop then treats trailing data in the TCP segment as a second SIP\\nmessage and processes it through the SDP parser.\\n\\nFix this by changing clen to unsigned long to match the return type of\\nsimple_strtoul(), and reject Content-Length values that exceed the\\nremaining TCP payload length.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H\",\"baseScore\":8.6,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"integrityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":3.9,\"impactScore\":4.7}]},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/528b4509c9dfc272e2e92d811915e5211650d383\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/75fcaee5170e7dbbee778927134ef2e9568b4659\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/865dba58958c3a86786f89a501971ab0e3ec6ba9\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b75209debb9adab287b3caa982f77788c1e15027\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cd1b7403ec835f8a0b3f1f7e68ac26af2cb1e42f\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d4f17256544cc37f6534a14a27a9dec3540c2015\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ed81b6a7012485acdb9c6c80735a0b7d8e5e1873\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fbce58e719a17aa215c724473fd5baaa4a8dc57c\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"}]}}"
