[PATCH 3.16 257/370] netfilter: nft_log: restrict the log prefix length to 127

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Fri Mar 10 2017 - 08:53:23 EST


3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 5ce6b04ce96896e8a79e6f60740ced911eaac7a4 upstream.

First, log prefix will be truncated to NF_LOG_PREFIXLEN-1, i.e. 127,
at nf_log_packet(), so the extra part is useless.

Second, after adding a log rule with a very very long prefix, we will
fail to dump the nft rules after this _special_ one, but acctually,
they do exist. For example:
# name_65000=$(printf "%0.sQ" {1..65000})
# nft add rule filter output log prefix "$name_65000"
# nft add rule filter output counter
# nft add rule filter output counter
# nft list chain filter output
table ip filter {
chain output {
type filter hook output priority 0; policy accept;
}
}

So now, restrict the log prefix length to NF_LOG_PREFIXLEN-1.
