From: Florian Westphal fw@strlen.de
commit 57ebd808a97d7c5b1e1afb937c2db22beba3c1f8 upstream.
The rationale for removing the check is only correct for rulesets generated by ip(6)tables.
In iptables, a jump can only occur to a user-defined chain, i.e. because we size the stack based on number of user-defined chains we cannot exceed stack size.
However, the underlying binary format has no such restriction, and the validation step only ensures that the jump target is a valid rule start point.
IOW, its possible to build a rule blob that has no user-defined chains but does contain a jump.
If this happens, no jump stack gets allocated and crash occurs because no jumpstack was allocated.
