From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> do_replace_finish() allocates the counter buffer before it is validated: counterstmp = vmalloc_array(repl->num_counters, sizeof(*counterstmp)); do_replace() only checks num_counters against INT_MAX / sizeof(struct ebt_counter), so vmalloc_array() can be asked for up to 134217726 * 16 = 2147483616 bytes (~2 GiB). num_counters must in fact equal nentries: do_replace_finish() later rejects the request when repl->num_counters != t->private->nentries. get_counters() folds the per-CPU counters back into one entry per rule, so what userspace gets is bounded by nentries, never by nentries * nr_cpus. Apply the same upper bound used for nentries (MAX_EBT_ENTRIES) to the incoming num_counters so the over-sized allocation can no longer be requested. The allocation is still kept outside the ebt_mutex, since vmalloc() may sleep and trigger reclaim; only the bound is tightened.
