Title:
ipv6: fix EFAULT on sendto with icmpv6 and hdrincl
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
== SRU Justification ==
The following code returns EFAULT (Bad address):
s = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMPV6);
setsockopt(s, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_HDRINCL, 1);
sendto(ipv6_icmp6_packet, addr); /* returns -1, errno = EFAULT */
The IPv4 equivalent code works.
The failure happens because 2 bytes are eaten from the msghdr by
rawv6_probe_proto_opt() starting from commit 19e3c66b52ca ("ipv6
equivalent of "ipv4: Avoid reading user iov twice after
raw_probe_proto_opt""), but at that time it was not a problem because
IPV6_HDRINCL was not yet introduced.
Only eat these 2 bytes if hdrincl == 0.
== Fix ==
Upstream commits:
59e3e4b52663 ("ipv6: use READ_ONCE() for inet->hdrincl as in ipv4")
b9aa52c4cb45 ("ipv6: fix EFAULT on sendto with icmpv6 and hdrincl")
== Regression Potential ==
Low. Only impacts IPv6 raw sockets with IPV6_HDRINCL.
== Test Case ==
Copy/paste this code in a python3 interpreter:
IPPROTO_ICMPV6 = socket.getprotobyname('ipv6-icmp')
SOL_IPV6 = 41
IPV6_HDRINCL = 36
import socket
send_s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMPV6)
send_s.setsockopt(SOL_IPV6, IPV6_HDRINCL, 1)
# this is an IPv6 + ICMPv6 echo packet
req =
b'`\x00\x00\x00\x00":@?\xfe\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01?\xfe\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x80\x00\xe0\xda9\xa0V\x8dabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
send_s.sendto(req, ('3ffe::2', 0, 0, 0))
On error, it raises:
OSError: [Errno 14] Bad address
After the fix, no exception is raised.
