Pero hay casos en los que podríamos evitar la revalidación.\n\nConsidere:\n1  input -> j2 -> j3\n2  input -> j2 -> j3\n3  input -> j1 -> j2 -> j3\n\nEntonces la segunda regla no necesita revalidar j2, y, por extensión j3,\nporque esto ya fue verificado durante la validación de la primera regla.\nNecesitamos validarlo solo para la regla 3.\n\nEsto es necesario porque la detección de bucles de cadena también asegura que no excedamos\nla pila de saltos: Solo porque sabemos que j2 está libre de ciclos, su último salto\npodría ahora exceder el tamaño de pila permitido. También necesitamos actualizar todas\nlas cadenas alcanzables con la nueva profundidad de llamada más grande observada.\n\nSe debe tener cuidado de revalidar incluso si la profundidad de la cadena no será un\nproblema: la validación de la cadena también asegura que las expresiones no se llamen desde\ncadenas base inválidas. Por ejemplo, la expresión de enmascaramiento solo puede ser\nllamada desde cadenas base de postrouting NAT.\n\nPor lo tanto, también necesitamos mantener un registro del contexto de la cadena base (tipo,\nhooknum) y revalidar si la cadena se vuelve alcanzable desde una ubicación de hook diferente."}],"metrics":{"cvssMetricV31":[{"source":"nvd@nist.gov","type":"Primary","cvssData":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","baseScore":5.5,"baseSeverity":"MEDIUM","attackVector":"LOCAL","attackComplexity":"LOW","privilegesRequired":"LOW","userInteraction":"NONE","scope":"UNCHANGED","confidentialityImpact":"NONE","integrityImpact":"NONE","availabilityImpact":"HIGH"},"exploitabilityScore":1.8,"impactScore":3.6}]},"weaknesses":[{"source":"nvd@nist.gov","type":"Primary","description":[{"lang":"en","value":"NVD-CWE-noinfo"}]}],"configurations":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.18","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.121","matchCriteriaId":"8E20C567-FA30-4A87-9E90-C96B048C77F6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.66","matchCriteriaId":"F72B884C-B44F-40E4-9895-CE421AC663D0"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.6","matchCriteriaId":"879529BC-5B4C-4EBE-BF1D-1A31404A8B2E"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"17B67AA7-40D6-4AFA-8459-F200F3D7CFD1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/09d6074995c186e449979fe6c1b0f1a69cf9bd3b","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","tags":["Patch"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/14fa3d1927f1382f86e3f70a51f26005c8e3cff6","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","tags":["Patch"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/53de1e6cde8f9b791d9cf61aa0e7b02cf5bbe8b1","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","tags":["Patch"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8e1a1bc4f5a42747c08130b8242ebebd1210b32f","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","tags":["Patch"]}]}}]}
