Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] netfilter: nf_tables: fib: Drop IPV6 packets if IPv6 is disabled on boot
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 15:57:49 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190827185748.19148-1-leonardo@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
If IPv6 is disabled on boot (ipv6.disable=1), but nft_fib_inet ends up
dealing with a IPv6 packet, it causes a kernel panic in
fib6_node_lookup_1(), crashing in bad_page_fault.
The panic is caused by trying to deference a very low address (0x38
in ppc64le), due to ipv6.fib6_main_tbl = NULL.
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x00000038
Fix this behavior by dropping IPv6 packets if !ipv6_mod_enabled().
Signed-off-by: Leonardo Bras <leonardo@linux.ibm.com>

Changes from v2:
- Replace veredict.code from NF_DROP to NFT_BREAK
- Updated commit message (s/package/packet)
Changes from v1:
- Move drop logic from nft_fib_inet_eval() to nft_fib6_eval{,_type}
so it can affect other usages of these functions.
