Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: reject QUEUE/DROP verdict parameters
This reverts commit e0abdadcc6e1.
core.c:nf_hook_slow assumes that the upper 16 bits of NF_DROP verdicts contain a valid errno, i.e. -EPERM, -EHOSTUNREACH or similar, or 0.
Due to the reverted commit, its possible to provide a positive value, e.g. NF_ACCEPT (1), which results in use-after-free.
Its not clear to me why this commit was made.
NF_QUEUE is not used by nftables; "queue" rules in nftables will result in use of "nft_queue" expression.
If we later need to allow specifiying errno values from userspace (do not know why), this has to call NF_DROP_GETERR and check that "err <= 0" holds true.
