CVE-2022-49911
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: enforce documented limit to prevent allocating huge memory
Daniel Xu reported that the hash:net,iface type of the ipset subsystem does not limit adding the same network with different interfaces to a set, which can lead to huge memory usage or allocation failure.
The quick reproducer is
$ ipset create ACL.IN.ALL_PERMIT hash:net,iface hashsize 1048576 timeout 0 $ for i in $(seq 0 100); do /sbin/ipset add ACL.IN.ALL_PERMIT 0.0.0.0/0,kaf_$i timeout 0 -exist; done
The backtrace when vmalloc fails:
The fix is to enforce the limit documented in the ipset(8) manpage:
