[PATCH net] netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: fix double cursor advance in decode_int()

From: luoqing <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-21 06:53:44
Also in: lkml, netfilter-devel
Subsystem: netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Qing Luo <redacted>

In the CONS case of decode_int(), when the field is actually decoded
(base is not NULL and the field carries the DECODE attribute),
get_uint() already advances the bitstream cursor by 'len' bytes.  The
subsequent unconditional "bs->cur += len" then advances the cursor a
second time over the same data, so the parser skips 'len' extra bytes.

All fields following such an integer are decoded from a wrong bit
position.  This affects the timeToLive field in RAS
RegistrationRequest/RegistrationConfirm messages: subsequent fields
(e.g. transport addresses) end up being parsed from arbitrary offsets
inside the message, so the helper may create expectations based on
bogus addresses/ports.

Only advance the cursor manually when get_uint() was not called, so
that the value bytes are consumed exactly once in either case.
