netfilter: updates for net
The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for *net*.
These are fixes for bugs except patches 6 and 9 which fix issues added in
last PR and 7.1-rc1.
1) Reject unsupported target families in xt_nat_checkentry().
From Wyatt Feng.
2) Fix inverted time_after() check in ecache_work_evict_list().
Causes pointless work rescheds and thus way longer time to
clear the pending event backlog. From Yizhou Zhao.
3) Fix a use-after-free in br_ip6_fragment() caused by a dangling prevhdr
pointer. From Xiang Mei.
4) Fix incorrect conntrack zone comparison in nf_conncount tuple
deduplication. Pass IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL, not zone direction.
From Yizhou Zhao.
5) Add bridge tunnel flowtable regression test for a bug that
got fixed in the previous PR. From Zhengyang Chen.
6) Use the correct direction when setting up tunnel routes in the flowtable
xmit path. From Pablo Neira Ayuso. This fixes a bug added in the
previous PR.
7) Reload IP header after potential skb head reallocation in IPVS.
8) Fix incorrect IPv6 transport offsets in TCP application code. Correct the
ICMPv6 header offset to ensure proper checksumming with extension headers,
from Julian Anastasov. this is a followup to the previous PR.
9) Remove null-termination requirement for xt_physdev masks, this broke
device names with 15 characters.

1) xfrm: propagate -EINPROGRESS from validate_xmit_xfrm()
Return -EINPROGRESS from xfrm_output_one when validate_xmit_xfrm
requeues the packet asynchronously, so the caller doesn't treat it
as a real error and free the skb.
2) xfrm: fix stale skb->prev after async crypto steals a GSO segment
Re-derive skb->prev from the fragment list after async crypto splits
a GSO skb, keeping the linked-list pointers validi.
3) xfrm: nat_keepalive: avoid double free on send error
Hold a state ref while the nat_keepalive timer is active and drop the
timer before freeing the state, preventing a re-entered free on send
error.
4) xfrm: fix sk_dst_cache double-free in xfrm_user_policy()
Null the skb dst cache before freeing the policy so a later skb
destructor doesn't double-free it.
5) xfrm: cache the offload ifindex for netlink dumps
Cache the device ifindex at state-add time and use it for netlink
dumps instead of dereferencing dst->dev, which may have changed by
the time the dump runs.
6) xfrm: reject optional IPTFS templates in outbound policies
Reject outbound policies with an optional IPTFS template,
IPTFS must always be used if configured.
7) xfrm: clear mode callbacks after failed mode setup
Clear the mode->init_flags and init_state callbacks on the error path
after xfrm_init_mode fails, so a partially-initialised mode isn't
reused in xfrm_state_construct.
8) xfrm: iptfs: propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG in iptfs_skb_add_frags()
Propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG from the original skb to fragments
allocated by iptfs_skb_add_frags, keeping shared-fragment accounting
correct after IPTFS reassembly.
9) xfrm6: clear dst.dev on error to avoid double netdev_put in xfrm6_fill_dst()
Clear dst->dev on the error path of xfrm6_fill_dst() so the caller
doesn't release the netdev reference twice via dst_release.
10) xfrm: policy: preallocate inexact bins before xfrm_hash_rebuild reinsert
Preallocate all inexact hash bins before existing entries are
reinserted during xfrm_hash_rebuild, so reinsertion always hits an
existing bin.
Please pull or let me know if there are problems.

br_ip6_fragment() gets prevhdr, a pointer into the skb head, from
ip6_find_1stfragopt(), then calls skb_checksum_help(). For a cloned skb
skb_checksum_help() reallocates the head via pskb_expand_head(), leaving
prevhdr dangling. It is later dereferenced in ip6_frag_next(), causing a
use-after-free write.
Save prevhdr's offset before skb_checksum_help() and recompute it after,
like commit ef0efcd3bd ("ipv6: Fix dangling pointer when ipv6
fragment").

nf_ct_frag6_reasm() slides the packet head forward to drop the IPv6
fragment header and then unconditionally advances skb->mac_header:
skb->mac_header += sizeof(struct frag_hdr);
On the NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT defrag path the skb has no link-layer header
yet, so skb->mac_header is still the "not set" sentinel (u16)~0U. Adding
sizeof(struct frag_hdr) wraps it to a small value (0xffff + 8 == 7),
after which skb_mac_header_was_set() wrongly reports a MAC header is
present and skb_mac_header() points into the headroom.
The reassembler has done this unconditional add since it was introduced;
it was harmless while mac_header was a bare pointer, but wrong once
mac_header became a u16 offset whose unset state is the ~0U sentinel
tested by skb_mac_header_was_set(). The sibling net/ipv6/reassembly.c
does the same relocation and does guard the adjustment; mirror the
guard here.

A race condition exists between device teardown and incoming MLD query
processing, leading to a Use-After-Free in the MLD delayed work.
During device destruction, the primary reference to inet6_dev is dropped,
which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of inet6_dev memory
is deferred via RCU.
Concurrently, the packet receive path runs under RCU read lock and obtains
the inet6_dev pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can
safely dereference inet6_dev even if its refcount has hit 0.
However, if CPU-0 calls igmp6_event_query() and schedules delayed work, it
attempts to acquire a reference using in6_dev_hold(). This increments the
refcount from 0 to 1, triggering a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning.
Since the inet6_dev memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU
grace period, the device is freed while the work is still scheduled.
When the work runs, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic.
Fix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper
in6_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is
already being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not schedule the work.

The ah, hbh and rt matches check that the fixed extension header is
present, then use the header length field to derive the advertised
extension header length for matching.
For the ah match, add the missing advertised-length check. For hbh
and rt, update the existing advertised-length checks. In all three
cases, set hotdrop to true before returning false when the advertised
extension header length exceeds the available skb data.
Returning false treats the packet as a rule mismatch. Set hotdrop to
true and drop malformed packets so they cannot bypass rules intended
to drop packets with these IPv6 extension headers.

inet6_dump_fib() saves its progress in cb->args[1] as a positional

all existing entries. The saved index then lands on a different

seg6_validate_srh() reads fixed SRH fields such as srh->type and
srh->hdrlen before checking that the supplied length covers the fixed
struct ipv6_sr_hdr fields.
The BPF SEG6 encap path reaches this with a BPF program-supplied pointer
and length: bpf_lwt_push_encap() and the SEG6 local BPF END_B6 and
END_B6_ENCAP actions call bpf_push_seg6_encap(), which forwards the
length to seg6_validate_srh() with no minimum-size guard. A 2-byte SEG6
encap header can therefore make the validator read srh->type at offset 2
beyond the caller-supplied buffer.
Reject lengths shorter than the fixed SRH at the top of
seg6_validate_srh(), before any field is read. This fixes the BPF helper
path and keeps the common validator robust.

Netfilter fixes for net
The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net. This batches

2) Hold reference to device under the fake dst in br_netfilter,

3) Reject template conntrack in xt_cluster, otherwise access to

4) Make sure the IPv6 tunnel header is in the linear skb data

if IPv4 header is not in the linear area.
5) Use test_bit_acquire in ipset hash set to avoid reordering
of subsequent memory access. This is addressing a LLM related
report, no crash has been observed. From Jozsef Kadlecsik.
6) Use test_bit_acquire in ipset bitmap set too, for the same
reason as in the previous patch, from Jozsef Kadlecsik.
7) Call kfree_rcu() after rcu_assign_pointer() to address a
possible UaF if kfree_rcu() runs inmediately, which to my
understanding never happens. Never observed in practise,
reported by LLM. Also from Jozsef Kadlecsik.
8) Use disable_delayed_work_sync() instead cancel_delayed_work_sync()
to avoid that ipset GC handler re-queues work as reported by LLM.
From Jozsef Kadlecsik. This is for correctness.
9) Restore the check in nft_payload for exceeding payloda offset
over 2^16. From Florian Westphal. This fixes a silent truncation,
not a big deal, but better be assertive and reject it.
10) Validate NFT_META_BRI_IIFHWADDR can only run from bridge
prerouting. From Florian Westphal. Harmless but it could allow
to read bytes from skb->cb.
11) Zero out destination hardware address during the flowtable
path setup, also from Florian. This is a correctness fix, LLM
points that possible infoleak can happen but topology to achieve
it is not clear.
12) Skip IPv4 options if present when building the IPV4 reject reply.
Otherwise bytes in the IPv4 options header can be sent back to
origin where the ICMP header is being expected. Again from
Florian Westphal.
13) Replace timer API for expectation by GC worker approach. This
is implicitly fixing a race between nf_ct_remove_expectations()
which might fail to remove the expectation due to timer_del()
returning false because timer has expired and callback is
being run concurrently. This fix is addressing a crash that has
been already reported with a reproducer.
14) Check if br_vlan_get_pvid_rcu() fails, otherwise possible stack
infoleak of 4-bytes. From Florian Westphal.

IOAM uses a dummy dst_entry(null_dst) to mark that the destination should
not be changed after the transformation. This dst is stored in the IOAM lwt
state and may be passed to dst_cache_set_ip6().
However, the IPv6 dst cache path eventually calls rt6_get_cookie(), which
treats the dst_entry as part of a struct rt6_info. Since the null_dst was
embedded directly as a struct dst_entry in struct ioam6_lwt, this resulted
in an invalid cast and rt6_get_cookie() reading fields from the wrong
object.
In practice, the wrong cookie is not used while dst->obsolete is zero, but
rt6_get_cookie() may also access per-cpu value when rt->sernum is
zero. In this case, rt->sernum aliases ioam6_lwt::cache::reset_ts, which
can become zero, making this a potential invalid pointer access.
Fix this by embedding a full struct rt6_info for the dummy IPv6 route and
passing its dst member to the dst APIs.

In __ip6_append_data(), when the paged-allocation branch is taken
(MSG_MORE / NETIF_F_SG / large fraglen), alloclen and pagedlen are
computed as
alloclen = fragheaderlen + transhdrlen;
pagedlen = datalen - transhdrlen;
datalen already includes fraggap (datalen = length + fraggap). When
fraggap is non-zero, this is not the first skb and transhdrlen is zero.
The fraggap bytes carried over from the previous skb are copied just past
the fragment headers in the new skb's linear area. The linear area is
therefore undersized by fraggap bytes while pagedlen is overstated by the
same amount, and the copy writes past skb->end into the trailing
skb_shared_info.
An unprivileged user can trigger this via a UDPv6 socket using
MSG_MORE together with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES.
The bad accounting was introduced by commit 773ba4fe91 ("ipv6:
avoid partial copy for zc"). Before commit ce650a1663 ("udp6: Fix
__ip6_append_data()'s handling of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES"), the negative
copy value caused -EINVAL to be returned. That later commit allowed
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to proceed in this case, making the corruption
triggerable.
The non-paged branch sets alloclen to fraglen, which already accounts
for fraggap because datalen does. Bring the paged branch in line by
adding fraggap to alloclen and subtracting it from pagedlen.
After this adjustment, copy no longer collapses to -fraggap on the
paged path, so remove the stale comment describing that old arithmetic.
Since a negative copy is no longer expected for a valid MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
case, remove the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES exception from the negative copy check.

Currently sk_rethink_txhash() re-rolls the socket's txhash on RTO, PLB,
and spurious-retransmission events, but the cached route is reused and
the new hash is not propagated into the ECMP path selection logic. Two
changes are needed to make rehash select a different local ECMP path:
1. Add __sk_dst_reset() alongside sk_rethink_txhash() in
tcp_write_timeout(), tcp_rcv_spurious_retrans(), and
tcp_plb_check_rehash() so the cached dst is invalidated and the
next transmit triggers a fresh route lookup.
2. Set fl6->mp_hash from sk_txhash (or tcp_rsk(req)->txhash for
SYN/ACK retransmits and syncookies) in tcp_v6_connect(),
inet6_sk_rebuild_header(), inet6_csk_route_req(),
inet6_csk_route_socket(), tcp_v6_send_response(), and
cookie_v6_check() so fib6_select_path() picks a path based on the
new hash.
The mp_hash override only applies to fib_multipath_hash_policy 0 (the
default L3 policy). Its hash includes the flow label, but that is 0 by
default -- np->flow_label is unset, and auto_flowlabels only computes
the on-wire label later, per packet -- so flows to the same peer share
one local path. Keying the hash on sk_txhash makes the local path
per-connection and lets a rehash re-select it. Policies 1-3 are left
unchanged.
The mp_hash assignment is factored into a small helper,
ip6_ecmp_set_mp_hash(), shared by inet6_csk_route_req(),
inet6_csk_route_socket(), tcp_v6_connect(), inet6_sk_rebuild_header(),
tcp_v6_send_response(), and cookie_v6_check(). It applies
(txhash >> 1) ?: 1 for policy 0 (the >> 1 keeps mp_hash in the 31-bit
range; ?: 1 keeps it non-zero, since 0 would fall back to
rt6_multipath_hash()). inet6_csk_route_socket() calls it only for
sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP so that non-TCP callers (e.g., L2TP via
inet6_csk_xmit) fall through to rt6_multipath_hash() and retain their
existing flow-key-based ECMP behavior.
tcp_v6_send_response() also sets mp_hash from the response txhash so
that a control packet (a RST from the full socket, or an ACK from a
time-wait socket) selects the same local ECMP nexthop as the
connection's txhash rather than falling back to the flow hash. The
time-wait socket's tw_txhash is copied from sk_txhash when the
connection enters TIME_WAIT, so it reflects any rehash that occurred.
Setting mp_hash explicitly is necessary because the default ECMP hash
derives from fl6->flowlabel via np->flow_label, which is not updated
from sk_txhash (REPFLOW is off by default). ip6_make_flowlabel()
cannot help either, as it runs after the route lookup.
As a consequence, for policy 0 the local ECMP path of an IPv6 TCP
flow follows sk_txhash even when fl6->flowlabel is non-zero, e.g. a
reflected (REPFLOW) or explicitly set (IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR) flow
label. This is intentional: only local path selection changes, so
rehash can recover from a failed path; the on-wire flow label is
unchanged.
sk_set_txhash() is moved before ip6_dst_lookup_flow() in
tcp_v6_connect() so the initial ECMP path is selected by the same
txhash that subsequent route rebuilds will use. This avoids
unintended path changes when the cached dst is naturally invalidated
(e.g., by PMTU discovery or route changes).
The rehash sites (tcp_write_timeout(), tcp_plb_check_rehash(), and
tcp_rcv_spurious_retrans()) call __sk_rethink_txhash_reset_dst(),
which re-rolls the txhash and, when it changed, drops the cached dst
so the next transmit re-runs route selection. The dst reset is
guarded by sk->sk_family == AF_INET6 since IPv4 ECMP does not
currently use sk_txhash for path selection. For IPv4-mapped IPv6
sockets this produces a redundant dst reset on a cold path
(RTO/PLB); the subsequent IPv4 route lookup returns the same result.
The helper is deliberately separate from sk_rethink_txhash() itself:
dst_negative_advice() calls sk_rethink_txhash() before its own dst op,
so resetting the dst inside sk_rethink_txhash() would skip that op
(e.g. rt6_remove_exception_rt()).
For syncookies, cookie_init_sequence() computes the cookie value
before route_req() and sets txhash so the SYN-ACK selects the same
ECMP path that cookie_v6_check() will use when the full socket is
created. cookie_tcp_reqsk_init() derives txhash from the cookie so
the full socket's ECMP path matches the SYN-ACK. Both the SYN-ACK
assignment in tcp_conn_request() and the full-socket assignment in
cookie_tcp_reqsk_init() set txhash from the cookie for IPv4 and IPv6
alike. On IPv6 this drives ECMP path selection; on IPv4, which does
not use sk_txhash for ECMP, it only affects TX-queue selection. That
selection scales the hash by its high bits (reciprocal_scale()), which
are uniform in the keyed secure_tcp_syn_cookie() output -- the MSS index
only perturbs the low bits -- so the queue distribution matches
net_tx_rndhash().
cookie_init_sequence() is split from the former version that also
called tcp_synq_overflow() and incremented SYNCOOKIESSENT; those
side effects are now in cookie_record_sent(), called after
route_req() succeeds so they are not bumped when route_req() fails.
cookie_record_sent() is guarded by CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES to
match the guard on tcp_synq_overflow(). route_req() receives 0 as
tw_isn for the syncookie path so that tcp_v6_init_req() still saves
ireq->pktopts for REPFLOW flowlabel reflection and IPv6 cmsg
options. The ecn_ok clear for syncookies without timestamps stays
after tcp_ecn_create_request() so it takes precedence.

When MTU is large, ip6_default_advmss() can return IPV6_MAXPLEN (65535).
This is interpreted by TCP as mss_clamp, allowing the MSS to reach 65535.
However, 0xFFFF is also used as a magic value GSO_BY_FRAGS in the kernel.
If a TCP packet with gso_size=0xFFFF is passed to skb_segment(), it will
be mistakenly treated as GSO_BY_FRAGS, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference because local TCP packets do not use frag_list.
Fix this by returning min(IPV6_MAXPLEN, GSO_BY_FRAGS - 1) (65534) from
ip6_default_advmss() when MTU is large.
Also update the stale comment in ip6_default_advmss() which suggested
that IPV6_MAXPLEN is returned to mean "any MSS".

Commit 741a11d9e4 ("net: ipv6: Add RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE flag if oif is
set") made the kernel honor the oif parameter when specified as part of
output route lookup:
# ip route add 2001:db8:1::/64 dev dummy1
# ip route add ::/0 dev dummy2
# ip route get 2001:db8:1::1 oif dummy2 fibmatch
default dev dummy2 metric 1024 pref medium
Due to regression reports, the behavior was partially reverted in commit
d46a9d678e ("net: ipv6: Dont add RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE flag if saddr
set") to only honor the oif if source address is not specified:
# ip route get 2001:db8:1::1 from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2 fibmatch
2001:db8:1::/64 dev dummy1 metric 1024 pref medium
That is, when source address is specified, the kernel will choose the
most specific route even if its nexthop device does not match the
specified oif.
This creates a problem for multipath routes. After looking up a route,
when source address is not specified, the kernel will choose a nexthop
whose nexthop device matches the specified oif:
# sysctl -wq net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
# ip route add 2001:db8:10::/64 nexthop via fe80::1 dev dummy1 nexthop via fe80::2 dev dummy2
# for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} oif dummy2; done | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c
100 dummy2
But will disregard the oif when source address is specified despite the
fact that a matching nexthop exists:
# for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2; done | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c
53 dummy1
47 dummy2
This behavior differs from IPv4:
# ip address add 192.0.2.1/32 dev lo
# ip route add 198.51.100.0/24 nexthop via inet6 fe80::1 dev dummy1 nexthop via inet6 fe80::2 dev dummy2
# for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 198.51.100.${i} from 192.0.2.1 oif dummy2; done | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c
100 dummy2
What happens is that fib6_table_lookup() returns a route with a matching
nexthop device (assuming it exists):
# perf record -e fib6:fib6_table_lookup -- bash -c "for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2; done > /dev/null"
# perf script | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c
100 dummy2
But it is later overwritten during path selection in fib6_select_path()
which instead chooses a nexthop according to the calculated hash.
Solve this by telling fib6_select_path() to skip path selection if we
have an oif match during output route lookup (iif being
LOOPBACK_IFINDEX).
Behavior after the change:
# sysctl -wq net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
# ip route add 2001:db8:10::/64 nexthop via fe80::1 dev dummy1 nexthop via fe80::2 dev dummy2
# for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2; done | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c
100 dummy2
Note that enabling forwarding is only needed because we did not add
neighbor entries for the gateway addresses. When forwarding is disabled
and CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF is not enabled in kernel config, the kernel
will treat non-existing neighbor entries as errors and perform
round-robin between the nexthops:
# sysctl -wq net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=0
# for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:10::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2; done | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c

Currently, when using multipath routes without nexthop objects,
fib6_table_lookup() selects the nexthop with the highest score. This
means that when both a source address and an oif are specified, the
nexthop that is chosen is the one that matches in terms of oif:
# sysctl -wq net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
# ip address add 2001:db8:2::1/64 dev lo
# ip route add 2001:db8:10::/64 nexthop via fe80::1 dev dummy1 nexthop via fe80::2 dev dummy2

# perf script | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c
100 dummy2
When using nexthop objects, fib6_table_lookup() selects the first
matching nexthop and not necessarily the one with the highest score:
# ip nexthop add id 1 via fe80::1 dev dummy1
# ip nexthop add id 2 via fe80::2 dev dummy2
# ip nexthop add id 3 group 1/2
# ip route add 2001:db8:20::/64 nhid 3
# perf record -e fib6:fib6_table_lookup -- bash -c "for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:20::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy1; done > /dev/null"
# perf script | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c

# perf record -e fib6:fib6_table_lookup -- bash -c "for i in {1..100}; do ip route get 2001:db8:20::${i} from 2001:db8:2::1 oif dummy2; done > /dev/null"
# perf script | grep -o dummy[0-9] | sort | uniq -c
100 dummy1
This is not very significant right now because the nexthop is later
overwritten during path selection in fib6_select_path(). However, the
next patch is going to skip path selection when we have an oif match
during output route lookup.
As a preparation for this change, align the nexthop object behavior with
the legacy one and make sure that fib6_table_lookup() always selects the
best matching nexthop. Do that by always returning 0 from

xfrm async resumption hold skb->dev refcnt until after transport_finish.
However, xfrm_rcv_cb may modify skb->dev to tunnel dev without taking
device reference, such as vti_rcv_cb. The subsequent async resumption
will decrement the tunnel device's reference count, which lead to uaf
of tunnel dev and refcnt leak of orig dev as below:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for vti1 to become free. Usage count = -2
Stash the original skb->dev to fix refcnt imbalance. The new skb->dev set
by xfrm_rcv_cb can race with device teardown. Extend rcu protection over
xfrm_rcv_cb and transport_finish to prevent races.

This is a minor performance / conceptual fix.
1) ip6erspan_tunnel_xmit()
ERSPAN tunnel can mirror both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, skb
(the packet being mirrored) can be an IPv4 packet,
and thus dst can be an IPv4 destination entry
Use dst_mtu() which contains generic logic for both families.
2) ip4ip6_err()
skb2 has been prepared as an IPv4 packet, and its destination
is an IPv4 route.
dst6_mtu() is optimized for IPv6 destinations and uses INDIRECT_CALL_1
to call ip6_mtu() directly if the ops match.
We should use dst4_mtu() instead.

4) xfrm: iptfs: fix ABBA deadlock in iptfs_destroy_state()

against the timer callbacks on SMP.
5) xfrm: espintcp: do not reuse an in-progress partial send

Add a flag to esp_ssg_unref() to unconditionally unref the source

addrconf_get_prefix_route() can return the fib6_null_entry sentinel
entry which has a NULL fib6_table pointer. Therefore, before setting the
route's expiration time, check that we are not working with this entry,
as otherwise a NPD will be triggered [1].
Note that the other callers of addrconf_get_prefix_route() are not
susceptible to this bug:
1. addrconf_prefix_rcv(): Requests a route with the 'RTF_ADDRCONF |
RTF_PREFIX_RT' flags which are not set on fib6_null_entry.
2. modify_prefix_route(): Fixed by commit a747e02430 ("ipv6: avoid
possible NULL deref in modify_prefix_route()").
3. __ipv6_ifa_notify(): Calls ip6_del_rt() which specifically checks for
fib6_null_entry and returns an error.

For NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIFNAME the destination register is declared with
len = IFNAMSIZ (four 32-bit registers), but on the lookup-fail,
RTN_LOCAL and oif-mismatch paths nft_fib{4,6}_eval() only writes one
register via "*dest = 0". The remaining three registers are left as
whatever was on the stack in nft_do_chain()'s struct nft_regs, and a
downstream expression that loads the register span can leak that
uninitialised kernel stack to userspace.
The NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT existence check has the same shape: it is only
meaningful for NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIF, yet it was accepted for any result type
while the eval stores a single byte via nft_reg_store8(), leaving the rest
of the declared span stale.
Fix both:
- replace the bare "*dest = 0" in the eval with nft_fib_store_result(),
which strscpy_pad()s the whole IFNAMSIZ for OIFNAME (and is already
used on the other early-return path), and
- restrict NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT to NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIF and declare its
destination as a single u8, so the marked span matches the one byte
the eval writes.

The native and compat get-entries paths copy the fixed rule entry header
from the kernelized rule blob to userspace before overwriting the entry's
counter fields with a sanitized counter snapshot.
On SMP kernels, entry->counters.pcnt contains the percpu allocation
address used by x_tables rule counters. A caller can provide a userspace
buffer that faults during the initial fixed-header copy after pcnt has
been copied but before the later sanitized counter copy runs. The syscall
then returns -EFAULT while leaving the raw percpu pointer in userspace.
Copy only the fixed entry prefix before counters from the kernelized rule
blob, then copy the sanitized counter snapshot into the counter field.
Apply this ordering to the IPv4, IPv6, and ARP native and compat
get-entries implementations so a fault cannot expose the internal percpu
counter pointer.

In vti6_tnl_lookup(), when an exact match for a tunnel fails,
the code falls back to searching for wildcard tunnels:
- Tunnels matching the packet's local address, with any remote address
wildcard remote).
- Tunnels matching the packet's remote address, with any local address
(wildcard local).
However, vti6 stores all these different types of tunnels in the same
hash table (ip6n->tnls_r_l) prone to hash collisions.
The bug is that the fallback search loops in vti6_tnl_lookup() were
missing checks to ensure that the candidate tunnel actually has
a wildcard address.

In esp_output_tail(), when esp->inplace is false, the old skb page frags
are replaced with a new page from the xfrm page_frag cache The source
scatterlist (sg) is built from the old frags before the replacement, and
esp_ssg_unref() is responsible for releasing the old page references
after the crypto operation completes
However, if the second skb_to_sgvec() call (which builds the destination
scatterlist from the new page) fails, the code jumps to error_free which
only calls kfree(tmp). The old page frag references captured in the
source scatterlist are never released:
1 sg[] is built from old frags via skb_to_sgvec() (no extra get_page)
2 nr_frags is set to 1 and frag[0] is replaced with the new page
3 Second skb_to_sgvec() fails -> goto error_free
Fix this by adding a bool parameter to esp_ssg_unref() that, when true,
unconditionally unrefs the source scatterlist frags. Since req->src is
not yet initialized by aead_request_set_crypt() at the point of the
error, the source scatterlist is obtained directly via esp_req_sg()
Existing callers pass false to preserve the original behavior
The same issue exists in both esp4 and esp6 as the code is identical

ipip6_tunnel_xmit() caches the inner IPv6 header pointer at function
entry and continues using it after iptunnel_handle_offloads().
For GSO skbs, iptunnel_handle_offloads() calls skb_header_unclone().
When the skb header is cloned, skb_header_unclone() can call
pskb_expand_head(), which may move the skb head. The pskb_expand_head()
contract requires pointers into the skb header to be reloaded after the
call.
If the later skb_realloc_headroom() branch is not taken, SIT uses the
stale iph6 pointer to read the inner hop limit and DS field. That can
read from a freed skb head after the old head's remaining clone is
released.
Reload iph6 after the offload helper succeeds and before subsequent
reads from the inner IPv6 header. Keep the existing reload after
skb_realloc_headroom(), since that branch can also replace the skb.
