Subject: [PATCH net 01/15] ipvs: avoid out-of-bounds write in ip_vs_nat_icmp_v6
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 02:14:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113011447.2357709-2-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113011447.2357709-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Axel Mierczuk <axel.mierczuk@1password.com>

ipv6_find_hdr() does not set the header offset for non-first
fragments, so an ICMPv6 error embedding such an ESP fragment leaves
ip_vs_fill_iph_skb_icmp() with len == off. The NAT paths size
skb_ensure_writable() from len, and ip_vs_nat_icmp_v6() then writes
the embedded addresses after the validated area.

Include the embedded IP header in ciph.len at both ICMPv6 call
sites when parsing stops at a non-first fragment. ESP lookup does
not require a transport header. Non-first TCP, UDP and SCTP fragments
bypass IPVS ICMP handling before connection lookup.

This fix does not depend on patch 2. Stable kernels without commit
342e24a339b9 ("ipvs: do not mangle ICMP replies for non-first fragments")
also need that commit to handle incoming ICMPv6 errors quoting
non-first ESP fragments.

Fixes: 63dca2c0b0e7 ("ipvs: Fix faulty IPv6 extension header handling in IPVS")
