From 3015e71ea3ea74b3526359c62707b2ec6f43f472 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KaraZajac Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 21:31:21 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] modules: port final 2 detect-only modules (xtcompat + stackrot) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit netfilter_xtcompat (CVE-2021-22555): +597 LoC — Option B Andy Nguyen's IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE 4-byte OOB write trigger; msg_msg kmalloc-2k spray + sk_buff sidecar; MSG_COPY witness + slabinfo delta. No leak→modprobe_path chain (per-kernel offsets refused), honest EXPLOIT_FAIL with continuation roadmap. stackrot (CVE-2023-3269): +619 LoC — Option C Two-thread race driver (MAP_GROWSDOWN + mremap rotation vs fork+fault) with cpu pinning + 3s budget; kmalloc-192 spray for anon_vma/anon_vma_chain; race-iteration + signal breadcrumb to /tmp/iamroot-stackrot.log. Honest reliability note in module header: <1% race-win/run on a vulnerable kernel — the public PoC averages minutes-to-hours and needs a much wider VMA staging matrix to be reliable. Both refuse cleanly on Debian 6.12.86 (kctf-mgr); build clean. This closes out the detect-only → LPE port across the corpus. All 22 registered modules now either fire a real primitive or refuse honestly per the verified-vs-claimed bar. --- .../iamroot_modules.c | 661 ++++++++++++++++- .../stackrot_cve_2023_3269/iamroot_modules.c | 667 +++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 1272 insertions(+), 56 deletions(-) diff --git a/modules/netfilter_xtcompat_cve_2021_22555/iamroot_modules.c b/modules/netfilter_xtcompat_cve_2021_22555/iamroot_modules.c index 681b96e..38bc4ab 100644 --- a/modules/netfilter_xtcompat_cve_2021_22555/iamroot_modules.c +++ b/modules/netfilter_xtcompat_cve_2021_22555/iamroot_modules.c @@ -4,25 +4,47 @@ * Heap-out-of-bounds in xt_compat_target_to_user(): the 32-bit * compat handler for iptables rule export wrote up to 4 bytes * beyond a heap allocation when copying rule names from kernel to - * userspace.
