Subject: [PATCH net] ipv4: icmp: reject broadcast/multicast routes
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 20:08:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519200836.4141061-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
syzbot was able to trigger ip_rt_bug() in a loop, using an IPv4 packet
with a crafted IPOPT_SSRR option:
options: ipv4_options {
options: array[ipv4_option] {
union ipv4_option {
ssrr: ipv4_option_route[IPOPT_SSRR] {
type: const = 0x89 (1 bytes)
length: len = 0x7 (1 bytes)
pointer: int8 = 0xa2 (1 bytes)
data: array[ipv4_addr] {
union ipv4_addr {
broadcast: const = 0xffffffff (4 bytes)
}
}
}
}
Change __icmp_send() to not send ICMP to broadcast/multicast destinations.
Fixes: c378a9c019cf ("ipv4: Give backtrace in ip_rt_bug().")
Reported-by: syzbot+c13a57c2639c2c0d03a6@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/6a0cc169.170a0220.1f6c2d.0004.GAE@google.com/T/#u
