Subject: [PATCH net v2] vxlan: fix NULL vn6_sock dereference in vxlan_igmp_join() and vxlan_igmp_leave()
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2026 04:41:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260418114110.2602784-3-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)
vxlan_sock_add() tolerates IPv6 socket creation failure with
-EAFNOSUPPORT (e.g. ipv6.disable=1), leaving vn6_sock as NULL while
successfully creating vn4_sock. vxlan_igmp_join() and
vxlan_igmp_leave() then crash when they dereference the NULL vn6_sock
for VNI filter entries with IPv6 multicast groups:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
0xdffffc0000000002: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]
RIP: 0010:vxlan_igmp_join (drivers/net/vxlan/vxlan_multicast.c:40)
Call Trace:
vxlan_multicast_join (drivers/net/vxlan/vxlan_multicast.c:195)
vxlan_open (drivers/net/vxlan/vxlan_core.c:2965)

rtnl_newlink (net/core/rtnetlink.c:4238)
rtnetlink_rcv_msg (net/core/rtnetlink.c:6921)
Skip the IPv6 multicast join/leave when vn6_sock is NULL, consistent
with how vxlan_sock_add() tolerates missing IPv6 support.
