In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: validate open interval overlap
Open intervals do not have an end element, in particular an open
interval at the end of the set is hard to validate because of it is
lacking the end element, and interval validation relies on such end
element to perform the checks.
This patch adds a new flag field to struct nft_set_elem, this is not an
issue because this is a temporary object that is allocated in the stack
from the insert/deactivate path. This flag field is used to specify that
this is the last element in this add/delete command.
The last flag is used, in combination with the start element cookie, to
check if there is a partial overlap, eg.
Already exists: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.254
Add interval: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.255
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
start element overlap
Basically, the idea is to check for an existing end element in the set
if there is an overlap with an existing start element.
However, the last open interval can come in any position in the add
command, the corner case can get a bit more complicated:
Already exists: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.254
Add intervals: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.255,255.255.255.0-255.255.255.254
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
start element overlap
To catch this overlap, annotate that the new start element is a possible
overlap, then report the overlap if the next element is another start
element that confirms that previous element in an open interval at the
end of the set.
For deletions, do not update the start cookie when deleting an open
interval, otherwise this can trigger spurious EEXIST when adding new
elements.
Unfortunately, there is no NFT_SET_ELEM_INTERVAL_OPEN flag which would
make easier to detect open interval overlaps.
