From dcb4e2231469523d20cf0a2477d68245795c205d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Ricardo=20B=2E=20Marli=C3=A8re?= Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2026 17:50:55 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: bpf_out_neigh_v4: Fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called which initializes it. If bpf_redirect_neigh() is called from tc with an explicit nexthop of nh_family == AF_INET6, bpf_out_neigh_v4() takes the AF_INET6 branch and calls ip_neigh_gw6(), which relies on ipv6_stub->nd_tbl. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000248 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:skb_do_redirect+0xb93/0xf00 Call Trace: ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 ? __tcf_classify.constprop.0+0x83/0x160 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 ? tcf_classify+0x2b/0x50 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 ? tc_run+0xb8/0x120 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 __dev_queue_xmit+0x6fa/0x1000 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 ? alloc_skb_with_frags+0x58/0x200 packet_sendmsg+0x10da/0x1700 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 __sys_sendto+0x1f3/0x220 __x64_sys_sendto+0x24/0x30 do_syscall_64+0x101/0xf80 ? exc_page_fault+0x6e/0x170 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Fix this by adding an early check in the AF_INET6 branch of bpf_out_neigh_v4(). If IPv6 is disabled, unlock RCU and drop the packet.
