[PATCH] netfilter: ipset: Fix overflow before widen in the bitmap_ip_create() function.
Posted by Gavrilov Ilia 2 years, 8 months ago 
When first_ip is 0, last_ip is 0xFFFFFFF, and netmask is 31, the value of
an arithmetic expression 2 << (netmask - mask_bits - 1) is subject
to overflow due to a failure casting operands to a larger data type
before performing the arithmetic.

Note that it's harmless since the value will be checked at the next step.

(linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Do you mean 0xFFFFFFFF (8 rather than 8 'F's) ?
If so, I agree with this patch.

I think that hosts also overflows, in the case you have described.
Although it also doesn't matter for the same reason you state.
But from a correctness point of view perhaps it should also be addressed?

Yes, it's my typo. I meant 0xFFFFFFFF.

As for 'hosts', the expression "2 << (32 - netmask - 1)" is also subject 
to overflow, but the type of the variable 'hosts' is u32, and the type 
casting gives the correct result. But I will fix it for correctness.


Thank you for review. I will change that in V2.

Ilia.

an arithmetic expression 2 << (netmask - mask_bits - 1) is subject
to overflow due to a failure casting operands to a larger data type
