Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:ipv6: Fix ECMP sibling count mismatch when clearing RTF_ADDRCONF
syzbot reported a kernel BUG in fib6_add_rt2node() when adding an IPv6
route. [0]
Commit f72514b3c569 ("ipv6: clear RA flags when adding a static
route") introduced logic to clear RTF_ADDRCONF from existing routes
when a static route with the same nexthop is added. However, this
causes a problem when the existing route has a gateway.
When RTF_ADDRCONF is cleared from a route that has a gateway, that
route becomes eligible for ECMP, i.e. rt6_qualify_for_ecmp() returns
true. The issue is that this route was never added to the
fib6_siblings list.
This leads to a mismatch between the following counts:
- The sibling count computed by iterating fib6_next chain, which
includes the newly ECMP-eligible route
- The actual siblings in fib6_siblings list, which does not include
that route
When a subsequent ECMP route is added, fib6_add_rt2node() hits
BUG_ON(sibling->fib6_nsiblings != rt->fib6_nsiblings) because the
counts don't match.
Fix this by only clearing RTF_ADDRCONF when the existing route does
not have a gateway. Routes without a gateway cannot qualify for ECMP
anyway (rt6_qualify_for_ecmp() requires fib_nh_gw_family), so clearing
RTF_ADDRCONF on them is safe and matches the original intent of the
commit.
