Subject: ipv6: Fix a potential NPD in cleanup_prefix_route()
X-Git-Url: http://git.hungrycats.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b70c687b7cf267fb08586667a3946c8851cad672;p=linux

ipv6: Fix a potential NPD in cleanup_prefix_route()

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 a747e02430df ("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.
