When looking up an iptables rule, the iptables binary compares the
aligned match and target data (XT_ALIGN). In some cases this can
exceed the actual data size to include padding bytes.
Before commit f77bc5b23f ("iptables: use match, target and data
copy_to_user helpers") the malloc()ed bytes were overwritten by the
kernel with kzalloced contents, zeroing the padding and making the
comparison succeed. After this patch, the kernel copies and clears
only data, leaving the padding bytes undefined.
Extend the clear operation from data size to aligned data size to
include the padding bytes, if any.
Padding bytes can be observed in both match and target, and the bug
triggered, by issuing a rule with match icmp and target ACCEPT:
iptables -t mangle -A INPUT -i lo -p icmp --icmp-type 1 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t mangle -D INPUT -i lo -p icmp --icmp-type 1 -j ACCEPT
