Subject: [PATCH linux-6.1.y 1/1] inet: RAW sockets using IPPROTO_RAW MUST drop incoming ICMP
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 13:50:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826175018.131474-2-juhandre.knoetze@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826175018.131474-1-juhandre.knoetze@windriver.com>

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit c89477ad79446867394360b29bb801010fc3ff22 ]

Yizhou Zhao reported that simply having one RAW socket on protocol
IPPROTO_RAW (255) was dangerous.

  socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 255);

A malicious incoming ICMP packet can set the protocol field to 255
and match this socket, leading to FNHE cache changes.

inner = IP(src="192.168.2.1", dst="8.8.8.8", proto=255)/Raw("TEST")
pkt = IP(src="192.168.1.1", dst="192.168.2.1")/ICMP(type=3, code=4, nexthopmtu=576)/inner

"man 7 raw" states:

  A protocol of IPPROTO_RAW implies enabled IP_HDRINCL and is able
  to send any IP protocol that is specified in the passed header.
  Receiving of all IP protocols via IPPROTO_RAW is not possible
  using raw sockets.

Make sure we drop these malicious packets.
