From 73a73d442f9986353fe284bd1b504d0313d0f153 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kyle Zeng Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 23:01:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_reject: initialize IPCB at inet ingress The inet ingress hook runs before ip_rcv_core() and ip6_rcv_core(), so neither IPCB nor IP6CB has been initialized when nft_reject_inet passes a packet to nf_send_unreach() or nf_send_unreach6(). skb->cb can therefore retain metadata from an earlier protocol layer. For IPv4, icmp_send() treats IPCB(skb)->opt as parsed IPv4 options. Stale option offsets can make __ip_options_echo() copy an attacker-controlled length into its 40-byte reply option buffer and overflow the stack. On an unpatched v7.2-rc5 kernel, the IPv4 reproducer produced: BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in __ip_options_echo() Write of size 255 For IPv6, icmpv6_send() consumes IP6CB(skb) as parsed IPv6 metadata. It always uses iif for source selection and, when MIP6 is enabled, uses dsthao as an extension-header offset. These fields must not be stale. For NF_INET_INGRESS, clear the address-family-specific control block and restore its input interface before constructing the ICMP error. This matches similar initialization normally performed by ip_rcv_core() and ip6_rcv_core().
