Subject: [PATCH net] net: 802: enforce underlying device type for GARP and MRP
Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2025 12:32:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250212113218.9859-1-oscmaes92@gmail.com> (raw)
When creating a VLAN device, we initialize GARP (garp_init_applicant)
and MRP (mrp_init_applicant) for the underlying device.
As part of the initialization process, we add the multicast address of
each applicant to the underlying device, by calling dev_mc_add.
__dev_mc_add uses dev->addr_len to determine the length of the new
multicast address.
This causes an out-of-bounds read if dev->addr_len is greater than 6,
since the multicast addresses provided by GARP and MRP are only 6 bytes
long.
This behaviour can be reproduced using the following commands:
ip tunnel add gretest mode ip6gre local ::1 remote ::2 dev lo
ip l set up dev gretest
ip link add link gretest name vlantest type vlan id 100
Then, the following command will display the address of garp_pdu_rcv:
ip maddr show | grep 01:80:c2:00:00:21
Fix this by enforcing the type and address length of
the underlying device during GARP and MRP initialization.
Fixes: 22bedad3ce11 ("net: convert multicast list to list_head")
