Subject: [PATCH net v4 4/4] bpf: bpf_out_neigh_v6: Fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
Date: Sat, 07 Mar 2026 17:50:56 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260307-net-nd_tbl_fixes-v4-4-e2677e85628c@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260307-net-nd_tbl_fixes-v4-0-e2677e85628c@suse.com>

When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never
initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called which
initializes it. If bpf_redirect_neigh() is called with explicit AF_INET6
nexthop parameters, __bpf_redirect_neigh_v6() can skip the IPv6 FIB lookup
and call bpf_out_neigh_v6() directly. bpf_out_neigh_v6() then calls
ip_neigh_gw6(), which uses ipv6_stub->nd_tbl.

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000248
 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
 RIP: 0010:skb_do_redirect+0x44f/0xf40
 Call Trace:

  </TASK>

Fix this by adding an early check in bpf_out_neigh_v6(). If IPv6 is
disabled, drop the packet before neighbor lookup.
