Hello,

Here is cleaned reproducer:

#include <linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_tables.h>

int main()
{
  int fd;

  fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP);
  struct ipt_replace opt = {};
  opt.num_counters = 1;
  opt.size = -1;
  setsockopt(fd, SOL_IP, 0x40, &opt, 0x4);
  return 0;
}


What happens there is that here:

struct xt_table_info *xt_alloc_table_info(unsigned int size)
{
    ...
    if ((SMP_ALIGN(size) >> PAGE_SHIFT) + 2 > totalram_pages)
        return NULL;

size = -1 and SMP_ALIGN(size) = 0, so this still tries to allocate
4GB+delta bytes.

I don't understand why this uses SMP_ALIGN since we add 2 pages on
top, it seems that we could just drop SMP_ALIGN and local SMP_ALIGN
definition altogether.
Looking at history.git this seems to be a left over from back when
iptables allocated size * num_cpus() (and used an SMP_ALIGN based offset
for each cpu).

So yes, I think we can just toss/drop this.

Thanks.
I've mailed "netfilter: fix int overflow in xt_alloc_table_info()" to fix this.
