CVE-2026-64411

Vulnerability Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: ebtables: terminate table name before find_table_lock()

update_counters() and compat_update_counters() forward a user-supplied
32-byte table name to find_table_lock() without NUL-terminating it. On a
lookup miss, find_inlist_lock() calls try_then_request_module(..., "%s%s",
"ebtable_", name), and vsnprintf() reads past the name field and the
stack object until it hits a zero byte.

BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in string (lib/vsprintf.c:648 lib/vsprintf.c:730)
Read of size 1 at addr ffff8880119dfb20 by task exploit/147
Call Trace:
...
string (lib/vsprintf.c:648 lib/vsprintf.c:730)
vsnprintf (lib/vsprintf.c:2945)
__request_module (kernel/module/kmod.c:150)

raw_setsockopt (net/ipv4/raw.c:847)
__sys_setsockopt (net/socket.c:2393)
...

compat_do_replace() shares the same unterminated name via
compat_copy_ebt_replace_from_user(); terminate it there too so all
find_table_lock() callers behave alike. The other callers already
terminate the name after the copy.
