This reads one element past the end of the\nstack-allocated rulemap array (declared as rulemap[NFT_PIPAPO_MAX_FIELDS]\nwith NFT_PIPAPO_MAX_FIELDS == 16).\n\nAlthough pipapo_unmap() returns early when is_last is true without\nusing the to_offset value, the argument is evaluated at the call site\nbefore the function body executes, making this a genuine out-of-bounds\nstack read confirmed by KASAN:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in pipapo_drop+0x50c/0x57c [nf_tables]\n  Read of size 4 at addr ffff8000810e71a4\n\n  This frame has 1 object:\n   [32, 160) 'rulemap'\n\n  The buggy address is at offset 164 -- exactly 4 bytes past the end\n  of the rulemap array.\n\nPass 0 instead of rulemap[i + 1].n on the last iteration to avoid\nthe out-of-bounds read.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","score":7.1},"cwes":["CWE-125"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0a55d62cdb628923d8a21724374a70c76ac7d19d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1957e793196e7f8557374fd4eda53abcbb42e1c0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/324b749aa5b2d516ccfab933df9d3f56e7807f5f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/57fb87ca095d5127cd7a27583b8ec43dcf7c9e9e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60c1d18781e37bfb96290b86510eb01c5fa24d75"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:55.586217763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-43453","score":0.00126,"percentile":0.02246,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
