Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: fix NULL deref in decode_seqof()
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 17:08:35 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261012090835.920932-1-zhugl3@xiaopeng.com> (raw)

decode_seqof() loads son from f->fields and dereferences son->attr
in the item loop without a NULL check.  A number of SEQOF entries
in nf_conntrack_h323_types.c carry a NULL fields pointer, so a
crafted packet that makes one of these optional fields present with
a nonzero item count dereferences NULL in the loop.

Skip the decoding when fields is NULL.

Signed-off-by: Guanglei Zhu <zhugl3@xiaopeng.com>
---
Verified on a KASAN kernel with a test module calling decode_seqof()
with a fields=NULL SEQOF entry and a nonzero item count: NULL deref
report at son->attr (read of size 2 at address 0x4).
