Subject: [PATCH net v2] ipv4: icmp: reject RTN_UNREACHABLE input routes in icmp_route_lookup
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 15:51:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260815075102.3426068-1-dongchenchen2@huawei.com> (raw)
When the forward output route cannot be used in icmp_route_lookup(),
it enters the "reverse path" and calls ip_route_input() on fl4_dec.daddr,
the original packet's source address.
ip_route_input() only returns an error for truly invalid packets. For
unreachable addresses it will succeed and return an input route whose
dst.output is set to ip_rt_bug(). The existing check only rejects
RTN_LOCAL routes, so the RTN_UNREACHABLE route types can still be returned
and later used for output, syzkaller triggering a WARN_ON_ONCE()
in ip_rt_bug() as bellow:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: net/ipv4/route.c:1273 at ip_rt_bug+0x14/0x20
RIP: 0010:ip_rt_bug+0x14/0x20

Reject any input route that is RTN_UNREACHABLE to fix it.
