Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 1/7] ipv6: Check of max HBH or DestOp sysctl is zero and drop if it is
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 13:12:06 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260119211212.55026-2-tom@herbertland.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260119211212.55026-1-tom@herbertland.com>
In IPv6 Destination options processing function check if
net->ipv6.sysctl.max_dst_opts_cnt is zero up front. If it is zero then
drop the packet since Destination Options processing is disabled.
Similarly, in IPv6 hop-by-hop options processing function check if
net->ipv6.sysctl.max_hbh_opts_cnt is zero up front. If it is zero then
drop the packet since Hop-by-Hop Options processing is disabled.
