From b55b76b22144ab97cefcb3862bab61f088adf411 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duan Jiong Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2013 19:44:21 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6:introduce function to find route for redirect RFC 4861 says that the IP source address of the Redirect is the same as the current first-hop router for the specified ICMP Destination Address, so the gateway should be taken into consideration when we find the route for redirect. There was once a check in commit a6279458c534d01ccc39498aba61c93083ee0372 ("NDISC: Search over all possible rules on receipt of redirect.") and the check went away in commit b94f1c0904da9b8bf031667afc48080ba7c3e8c9 ("ipv6: Use icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect, instead of rt6_redirect()"). The bug is only "exploitable" on layer-2 because the source address of the redirect is checked to be a valid link-local address but it makes spoofing a lot easier in the same L2 domain nonetheless. Thanks very much for Hannes's help. Signed-off-by: Duan Jiong Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-format-patch failed
