Title
netfilter: xt_policy: fix strict mode inbound policy matching
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: xt_policy: fix strict mode inbound policy matching match_policy_in() walks sec_path entries from the last transform to the first one, but strict policy matching needs to consume info->pol[] in the same forward order as the rule layout. Derive the strict-match policy position from the number of transforms already consumed so that multi-element inbound rules are matched consistently.
Severity
8.3 (High)

A remote IPsec peer can trigger the affected strict inbound policy rule by sending network packets in a realistic VPN/gateway deployment.\nAC:L - Exploitation requires a strict inbound xt_policy rule with multiple policy elements and a packet with the same number of transforms, but those are normal affected configurations rather than attacker-uncontrolled races. Once present, triggering is repeatable by sending matching packets.\nPR:L - Unauthenticated packets generally fail XFRM state/authentication before reaching this sec_path-based match, so the network scenario requires an authorized IPsec peer or equivalent low privilege. Locally, the rule/XFRM setup is gated by CAP_NET_ADMIN in the network namespace, which is reachable through user namespaces.\nUI:N - No victim user action is needed after the vulnerable rule/state configuration exists. Packet delivery or local namespace traffic is sufficient to invoke the matcher.\nS:U - The bug is in kernel netfilter/XFRM policy evaluation and impacts the same kernel/network security authority. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or separate sandbox security scope.\nC:H - The old strict inbound index calculation can make pos negative and read before info-\u003epol[], including x_tables rule metadata or adjacent kernel allocation contents. Although exposed through match behavior rather than a direct copy_to_user, this is an out-of-bounds kernel read larger than a few bytes, so the higher confidentiality impact is warranted.\nI:L - The bug does not provide a direct write primitive or code execution path, but it can make strict IPsec policy matching produce incorrect firewall decisions. That can bypass or misapply intended packet filtering for affected multi-element inbound rules.\nA:H - The negative-index read can reach outside the intended match data and, for larger strict transform counts or unlucky layout, may fault/oops in kernel packet processing. The condition can be triggered repeatedly with packets once the affected rule path is reachable."
