Linux kernel source tree
630e4576f8
Found by virtue of ipv6 raw sockets not honouring the per-socket
IP{,V6}_FREEBIND setting.
Based on hits found via:
git grep '[.]ip_nonlocal_bind'
We fix both raw ipv6 sockets to honour IP{,V6}_FREEBIND and IP{,V6}_TRANSPARENT,
and we fix sctp sockets to honour IP{,V6}_TRANSPARENT (they already honoured
FREEBIND), and not just the ipv6 'ip_nonlocal_bind' sysctl.
The helper is defined as:
static inline bool ipv6_can_nonlocal_bind(struct net *net, struct inet_sock *inet) {
return net->ipv6.sysctl.ip_nonlocal_bind || inet->freebind || inet->transparent;
}
so this change only widens the accepted opt-outs and is thus a clean bugfix.
I'm not entirely sure what 'fixes' tag to add, since this is AFAICT an ancient bug,
but IMHO this should be applied to stable kernels as far back as possible.
As such I'm adding a 'fixes' tag with the commit that originally added the helper,
which happened in 4.19. Backporting to older LTS kernels (at least 4.9 and 4.14)
would presumably require open-coding it or backporting the helper as well.
Other possibly relevant commits:
v4.18-rc6-1502-g83ba4645152d net: add helpers checking if socket can be bound to nonlocal address
v4.18-rc6-1431-gd0c1f01138c4 net/ipv6: allow any source address for sendmsg pktinfo with ip_nonlocal_bind
v4.14-rc5-271-gb71d21c274ef sctp: full support for ipv6 ip_nonlocal_bind & IP_FREEBIND
v4.7-rc7-1883-g9b9742022888 sctp: support ipv6 nonlocal bind
v4.1-12247-g35a256fee52c ipv6: Nonlocal bind

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
