Official Description

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

netfilter: nfnetlink_osf: fix divide-by-zero in OSF_WSS_MODULO

nf_osf_match_one() computes ctx->window % f->wss.val in the

OSF_WSS_MODULO branch with no guard for f->wss.val == 0. A

CAP_NET_ADMIN user can add such a fingerprint via nfnetlink; a

subsequent matching TCP SYN divides by zero and panics the kernel.

Reject the bogus fingerprint in nfnl_osf_add_callback() above the

per-option for-loop. f->wss is per-fingerprint, not per-option, so

the check must run regardless of f->opt_num (including 0). Also

reject wss.wc >= OSF_WSS_MAX; nf_osf_match_one() already treats that

as "should not happen".

Crash:

Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
