Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: fib6: fix NULL deref in fib6_walk_continue() on multi-batch dump
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:23:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625012323.892346-1-zhangfeionline@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260624171156.822055-1-zhangfeionline@gmail.com>

From: Pengfei Zhang <zhangpengfei16@xiaomi.com>

inet6_dump_fib() saves its progress in cb->args[1] as a positional
index within the current hash chain.  Between batches the RTNL lock
is released, so a concurrent fib6_new_table() can insert a new table
at the chain head, shifting all existing entries.  The saved index
then lands on a different table, causing fib6_dump_table() to set
w->root to the wrong table while w->node still points into the
previous one.  fib6_walk_continue() dereferences w->node->parent
(NULL) and panics:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
  RIP: 0010:fib6_walk_continue+0x6e/0x170
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   fib6_dump_table.isra.0+0xc5/0x240
   inet6_dump_fib+0xf6/0x420
   rtnl_dumpit+0x30/0xa0
   netlink_dump+0x15b/0x460
   netlink_recvmsg+0x1d6/0x2a0
   ____sys_recvmsg+0x17a/0x190

Fix by storing tb->tb6_id in cb->args[1] instead of a positional
index.  On resume, skip entries until the id matches; a concurrent
head-insert can never match the saved id, so the walker always
resumes on the correct table.

Fixes: 1b43af5480c3 ("[IPV6]: Increase number of possible routing tables to 2^32")
