Hello,

I'm searching for a way to either enforce IPV6_V6ONLY or to block
IPv4-mapped addresses on ipv6-sockets (e.g. by using iptables) system-wide.

E.g. net.ipv6.bindv6only doesn't help if something calls

int v6on = 0;
setsockopt(sd, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY, (char *)&v6on, sizeof(v6on))

In such a case I still want to disable or block IPv4-mapped addresses on
that socket, even if the program thinks it nows it better.

Until now I haven't found a solution.

I've now done it by the following hack:

-----------
diff --git a/net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c b/net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c
index d1e2e8e..9eefd3e 100644
--- a/net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c
+++ b/net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c
@@ -235,7 +235,7 @@ static int do_ipv6_setsockopt(struct sock *sk, int level, int optname,
                if (optlen < sizeof(int) ||
                    inet_sk(sk)->inet_num)
                        goto e_inval;
-               np->ipv6only = valbool;
+               np->ipv6only = valbool || net->ipv6.sysctl.bindv6only;
                retv = 0;
                break;
-----------

A proper solution would be to either return false if net.ipv6.bindv6only is true and optval is false (which would break downward compatibility because it wouldn't just be a default and setsockopt might return an error) or to introduce a new sysctl variable like net.ipv6.bindv6only_enforced_silently. ("silently" because setsockopt() wouldn't return an error if net.ipv6.bindv6only is true and optval (v6only in the example above) is false.)

I would volunteer to write a patch which introduces something like net.ipv6.bindv6only_enforced_silently if some maintainer would give me his ok.

If so, the question remains if

systemctl net.ipv6.bindv6only_enforced_silently = 1

should set systemctl.net.ipv6.bindv6only too or if an error should be returned if net.ipv6.bindv6only is false.

Regards,

Alexander
