Subject: [PATCH net] mpls: fix NULL deref in mpls_valid_fib_dump_req() on CONFIG_INET=n
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 04:50:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260711114958.1009619-3-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)
On CONFIG_INET=n builds, mpls_valid_fib_dump_req() walks the parsed
attribute table itself instead of calling ip_valid_fib_dump_req(). The
RTA_OIF arm passes tb[RTA_OIF] to nla_get_u32() without checking it is
present, so an RTM_GETROUTE dump for AF_MPLS with strict checking and no
RTA_OIF hits a NULL dereference.
RTM_GETROUTE is RTNL_KIND_GET, which rtnetlink_rcv_msg() permits without
CAP_NET_ADMIN, so an unprivileged user can trigger it.
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]
RIP: 0010:mpls_valid_fib_dump_req (net/mpls/af_mpls.c:2189)

Skip unset attributes, as ip_valid_fib_dump_req() does.
