[PATCH 3.18 060/105] netfilter: x_tables: avoid stack-out-of-bounds read in xt_copy_counters_from_user

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 24 2018 - 07:40:25 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e466af75c074e76107ae1cd5a2823e9c61894ffb upstream.

syzkaller reports an out of bound read in strlcpy(), triggered
by xt_copy_counters_from_user()

Fix this by using memcpy(), then forcing a zero byte at the last position
of the destination, as Florian did for the non COMPAT code.
