CVE-2026-64411
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ebtables: terminate table name before find_table_lock()
update_counters() and compat_update_counters() forward a user-supplied
32-byte table name to find_table_lock() without NUL-terminating it. On a
lookup miss, find_inlist_lock() calls try_then_request_module(..., '%s%s',
'ebtable_', name), and vsnprintf() reads past the name field and the
stack object until it hits a zero byte.
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in string (lib/vsprintf.c:648 lib/vsprintf.c:730)

compat_do_replace() shares the same unterminated name via
compat_copy_ebt_replace_from_user(); terminate it there too so all
find_table_lock() callers behave alike. The other callers already
terminate the name after the copy.
