Subject: [PATCH net 11/12] netfilter: br_netfilter: Reallocate headroom if necessary in neigh_hh_bridge()
Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 13:56:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260516115627.967773-12-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260516115627.967773-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo@kernel.org>
neigh_hh_bridge() assumes the skb always has sufficient headroom to copy
the aligned L2 header. This assumption can trigger the crash reported
below using the following netfilter setup:
$modprobe br_netfilter
$sysctl -w net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1
$root@OpenWrt:~# nft list ruleset
table ip nat {
chain prerouting {
type nat hook prerouting priority dstnat; policy accept;
ip daddr 192.168.83.123 dnat to 192.168.83.120
}
}
- iperf3 client (192.168.83.119) --> bridge (192.168.83.118) --> iperf3 server (192.168.83.120)
the iperf3 client is sending packet for 192.168.83.123 to the bridge device.
