If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jiayuan Chen [ Upstream commit 29c95185ba32b621fbc3800fb86e7dc3edf5c2be ] syzbot reported a panic [1] [2]. When an IPv6 nexthop is replaced with an IPv4 nexthop, the has_v4 flag of all groups containing this nexthop is not updated. This is because nh_group_v4_update is only called when replacing AF_INET to AF_INET6, but the reverse direction (AF_INET6 to AF_INET) is missed. This allows a stale has_v4=false to bypass fib6_check_nexthop, causing IPv6 routes to be attached to groups that effectively contain only AF_INET members. Subsequent route lookups then call nexthop_fib6_nh() which returns NULL for the AF_INET member, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix by calling nh_group_v4_update whenever the family changes, not just AF_INET to AF_INET6. Reproducer: # AF_INET6 blackhole ip -6 nexthop add id 1 blackhole # group with has_v4=false ip nexthop add id 100 group 1 # replace with AF_INET (no -6), has_v4 stays false ip nexthop replace id 1 blackhole # pass stale has_v4 check ip -6 route add 2001:db8::/64 nhid 100 # panic ping -6 2001:db8::1 [1] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=e17283eb2f8dcf3dd9b47fe6f67a95f71faadad0 [2] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=8699b6ae54c9f35837d925686208402949e12ef3 Fixes: 7bf4796dd099 ("nexthops: add support for replace") Signed-off-by: Jiayuan Chen Reviewed-by: David Ahern Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260413114522.147784-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- net/ipv4/nexthop.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/ipv4/nexthop.c b/net/ipv4/nexthop.c index 10cb365639aaa..49871e5f46802 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/nexthop.c +++ b/net/ipv4/nexthop.c @@ -2160,10 +2160,10 @@ static int replace_nexthop_single(struct net *net, struct nexthop *old, goto err_notify; } - /* When replacing an IPv4 nexthop with an IPv6 nexthop, potentially + /* When replacing a nexthop with one of a different family, potentially * update IPv4 indication in all the groups using the nexthop. */ - if (oldi->family == AF_INET && newi->family == AF_INET6) { + if (oldi->family != newi->family) { list_for_each_entry(nhge, &old->grp_list, nh_list) { struct nexthop *nhp = nhge->nh_parent; struct nh_group *nhg; -- 2.53.0
