From: Phil Sutter Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2016 23:31:14 +0000 (+0200) Subject: netfilter: ebtables: Fix extension lookup with identical name X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bcf4934288402be3464110109a4dae3bd6fb3e93;p=linux-beck.git netfilter: ebtables: Fix extension lookup with identical name If a requested extension exists as module and is not loaded, ebt_check_match() might accidentally use an NFPROTO_UNSPEC one with same name and fail. Reproduced with limit match: Given xt_limit and ebt_limit both built as module, the following would fail: modprobe xt_limit ebtables -I INPUT --limit 1/s -j ACCEPT The fix is to make ebt_check_match() distrust a found NFPROTO_UNSPEC extension and retry after requesting an appropriate module.
