netfilter: ip_tables: fix infoleak to userspace
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Structures ipt_replace, compat_ipt_replace, and xt_get_revision are
copied from userspace.  Fields of these structs that are
zero-terminated strings are not checked.  When they are used as argument
to a format string containing "%s" in request_module(), some sensitive
information is leaked to userspace via argument of spawned modprobe
process.

The first and the third bugs were introduced before the git epoch; the
second was introduced in 2722971 (v2.6.17-rc1).  To trigger the bug
one should have CAP_NET_ADMIN.
