Subject: [PATCH net] ip6mr: do not clone dst in ip6mr_cache_report()
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 17:27:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818172755.4083692-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
IPv6 input attaches a non-refcounted (NOREF) dst to skbs under RCU.
When an ingress multicast packet misses MFC lookup,
ip6mr_cache_unresolved() places the skb onto the unresolved queue,
escaping the receive-side RCU grace period.
If the underlying route is deleted and freed, and the MFC queue is later
resolved with a wrong parent interface, ip6_mr_forward() invokes
ip6mr_cache_report(..., MRT6MSG_WRONGMIF), which executes
dst_clone(skb_dst(pkt)) on the freed dst entry, triggering a slab
use-after-free.
Report packets queued to mroute6_sk (a raw socket) and netlink
notifications do not require an attached dst entry.
Fix this by:
1. Removing dst_clone() in ip6mr_cache_report() and ensuring report skbs
do not hold a dst.
2. Dropping skb_dst before queuing unresolved skbs in
ip6mr_cache_unresolved(), matching the fact that multicast
forwarding resolves outgoing routes anew via ip6_route_output().
Fixes: 67f415dd2906 ("ipv6: convert rx data path to not take refcnt on dst")
