From 89a26cd4b501e9511d3cd3d22327fc76a75a38b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juliana Rodrigueiro Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2019 17:02:22 +0200 Subject: netfilter: xt_nfacct: Fix alignment mismatch in xt_nfacct_match_info When running a 64-bit kernel with a 32-bit iptables binary, the size of the xt_nfacct_match_info struct diverges. kernel: sizeof(struct xt_nfacct_match_info) : 40 iptables: sizeof(struct xt_nfacct_match_info)) : 36 Trying to append nfacct related rules results in an unhelpful message. Although it is suggested to look for more information in dmesg, nothing can be found there. # iptables -A -m nfacct --nfacct-name iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information. This patch fixes the memory misalignment by enforcing 8-byte alignment within the struct's first revision. This solution is often used in many other uapi netfilter headers.
