Hyunwoo Kim 05018cd937 netfilter: nfnetlink_cthelper: fix OOB read in nfnl_cthelper_dump_table() 
[ Upstream commit 6dcee8496d ]

nfnl_cthelper_dump_table() has a 'goto restart' that jumps to a label
inside the for loop body.  When the "last" helper saved in cb->args[1]
is deleted between dump rounds, every entry fails the (cur != last)
check, so cb->args[1] is never cleared.  The for loop finishes with
cb->args[0] == nf_ct_helper_hsize, and the 'goto restart' jumps back
into the loop body bypassing the bounds check, causing an 8-byte
out-of-bounds read on nf_ct_helper_hash[nf_ct_helper_hsize].

The 'goto restart' block was meant to re-traverse the current bucket
when "last" is no longer found, but it was placed after the for loop
instead of inside it.  Move the block into the for loop body so that
the restart only occurs while cb->args[0] is still within bounds.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
