AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to properly NUL-terminate the user-supplied table name before passing it to find_table_lock(). Users should update their Linux kernel to a version that includes this fix. Since no specific patch links or versions are provided, check the official Linux kernel advisories or vendor updates for the patched versions. No additional mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
A high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter ebtables component involves improper handling of a user-supplied table name that is not NUL-terminated before being passed to find_table_lock(). This can lead to a stack-out-of-bounds read in vsnprintf() when a lookup misses, potentially causing a kernel crash or other impact. The issue affects the update_counters() and compat_update_counters() functions. The vulnerability has been resolved by ensuring the table name is properly NUL-terminated before use.
