From ddbd8be68941985f166f5107109a90ce13147c44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2023 00:29:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: fix spurious set element insertion failure On some platforms there is a padding hole in the nft_verdict structure, between the verdict code and the chain pointer. On element insertion, if the new element clashes with an existing one and NLM_F_EXCL flag isn't set, we want to ignore the -EEXIST error as long as the data associated with duplicated element is the same as the existing one. The data equality check uses memcmp. For normal data (NFT_DATA_VALUE) this works fine, but for NFT_DATA_VERDICT padding area leads to spurious failure even if the verdict data is the same. This then makes the insertion fail with 'already exists' error, even though the new "key : data" matches an existing entry and userspace told the kernel that it doesn't want to receive an error indication.
