- Description
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
icmp6: Fix null-ptr-deref of ip6_null_entry->rt6i_idev in icmp6_dev().
With some IPv6 Ext Hdr (RPL, SRv6, etc.), we can send a packet that
has the link-local address as src and dst IP and will be forwarded to
an external IP in the IPv6 Ext Hdr.
For example, the script below generates a packet whose src IP is the
link-local address and dst is updated to 11::.
# for f in $(find /proc/sys/net/ -name *seg6_enabled*); do echo 1 > $f; done
# python3
>>> from socket import *
>>> from scapy.all import *
>>>
>>> SRC_ADDR = DST_ADDR = "fe80::5054:ff:fe12:3456"
>>>
>>> pkt = IPv6(src=SRC_ADDR, dst=DST_ADDR)
>>> pkt /= IPv6ExtHdrSegmentRouting(type=4, addresses=["11::", "22::"], segleft=1)
>>>
>>> sk = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW)
>>> sk.sendto(bytes(pkt), (DST_ADDR, 0))
For such a packet, we call ip6_route_input() to look up a route for the
next destination in these three functions depending on the header type.
* ipv6_rthdr_rcv()
* ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv()
* ipv6_srh_rcv()
If no route is found, ip6_null_entry is set to skb, and the following
dst_input(skb) calls ip6_pkt_drop().
Finally, in icmp6_dev(), we dereference skb_rt6_info(skb)->rt6i_idev->dev
as the input device is the loopback interface. Then, we have to check if
skb_rt6_info(skb)->rt6i_idev is NULL or not to avoid NULL pointer deref
for ip6_null_entry.
