Subject: [iproute PATCH] ip-route: Propagate errors from parse_one_nh()
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 17:40:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180123164047.28661-1-phil@nwl.cc> (raw)

The following command segfaults if enp0s31f6 does not exist:

| # ip -6 route add default proto ra metric 20100 \
| 	nexthop via fe80:52:0:2040::1fc dev enp0s31f6 weight 1 \
| 	nexthop via fe80:52:0:2040::1fe dev enp0s31f6 weight 1

Since the non-zero return code from parse_one_nh() is ignored,
parse_nexthops() continues iterating over the the same fields in argv
until buffer space is exhausted and eventually accesses unallocated
memory.

Fix this by aborting on error in parse_nexthops() and make
iproute_modify() fail if parse_nexthops() did.

Fixes: 2f406f2d0b4ef ("ip route: replace exits with returns")
