CVE-2025-38639
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_nfacct: don't assume acct name is null-terminated
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in .. lib/vsprintf.c:721 Read of size 1 at addr ffff88801eac95c8 by task syz-executor183/5851 [..] string+0x231/0x2b0 lib/vsprintf.c:721 vsnprintf+0x739/0xf00 lib/vsprintf.c:2874 [..] nfacct_mt_checkentry+0xd2/0xe0 net/netfilter/xt_nfacct.c:41 xt_check_match+0x3d1/0xab0 net/netfilter/x_tables.c:523
nfnl_acct_find_get() handles non-null input, but the error printk relied on its presence.
