The bug\nhas been present since the beginning of IPv6 nexthop gateway support.\nCommit 1aefd3de7bc6 (\"ipv6: Add fib6_nh_init and release to stubs\") tells\nus that only fib6_nh_init has a dummy stub because fib6_nh_release should\nnot be called if fib6_nh_init returns an error, but the commit below added\na call to ipv6_stub->fib6_nh_release in its error path. To fix it return\nthe dummy stub's -EAFNOSUPPORT error directly without calling\nipv6_stub->fib6_nh_release in nh_create_ipv6()'s error path.\n\n[1]\n Output is a bit truncated, but it clearly shows the error.\n BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000000000\n #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel modede\n #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present pagege\n PGD 0 P4D 0\n Oops: 0010 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI\n CPU: 4 PID: 638 Comm: ip Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.16.0-rc1+ #446\n Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-4.fc34 04/01/2014\n RIP: 0010:0x0\n Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffffffffd6.\n RSP: 0018:ffff888109f5b8f0 EFLAGS: 00010286^Ac\n RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff888109f5ba28 RCX: 0000000000000000\n RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff8881008a2860\n RBP: ffff888109f5b9d8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000\n R10: ffff888109f5b978 R11: ffff888109f5b948 R12: 00000000ffffff9f\n R13: ffff8881008a2a80 R14: ffff8881008a2860 R15: ffff8881008a2840\n FS: 00007f98de70f100(0000) GS:ffff88822bf00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n CR2: ffffffffffffffd6 CR3: 0000000100efc000 CR4: 00000000000006e0\n Call Trace:\n \n nh_create_ipv6+0xed/0x10c\n rtm_new_nexthop+0x6d7/0x13f3\n ? check_preemption_disabled+0x3d/0xf2\n ? lock_is_held_type+0xbe/0xfd\n rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x23f/0x26a\n ? check_preemption_disabled+0x3d/0xf2\n ? rtnl_calcit.isra.0+0x147/0x147\n netlink_rcv_skb+0x61/0xb2\n netlink_unicast+0x100/0x187\n netlink_sendmsg+0x37f/0x3a0\n ? netlink_unicast+0x187/0x187\n sock_sendmsg_nosec+0x67/0x9b\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x19d/0x1f9\n ? copy_msghdr_from_user+0x4c/0x5e\n ? rcu_read_lock_any_held+0x2a/0x78\n ___sys_sendmsg+0x6c/0x8c\n ? asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x12/0x20\n ? lockdep_hardirqs_on+0xd9/0x102\n ? sockfd_lookup_light+0x69/0x99\n __sys_sendmsg+0x50/0x6e\n do_syscall_64+0xcb/0xf2\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae\n RIP: 0033:0x7f98dea28914\n Code: 00 f7 d8 64 89 02 48 c7 c0 ff ff ff ff eb b5 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 48 8d 05 e9 5d 0c 00 8b 00 85 c0 75 13 b8 2e 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 54 c3 0f 1f 00 41 54 41 89 d4 55 48 89 f5 53\n RSP: 002b:00007fff859f5e68 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 000000000000002e2e\n RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00000000619cb810 RCX: 00007f98dea28914\n RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00007fff859f5ed0 RDI: 0000000000000003\n RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000008\n R10: fffffffffffffce6 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000001\n R13: 000055c0097ae520 R14: 000055c0097957fd R15: 00007fff859f63a0\n \n Modules linked in: bridge stp llc bonding virtio_net" } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/ipv4/nexthop.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "53010f991a9f", "lessThan": "7b6f44856da5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "53010f991a9f", "lessThan": "b70ff391deee", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "53010f991a9f", "lessThan": "39509d76a9a3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "53010f991a9f", "lessThan": "1c743127cc54", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/ipv4/nexthop.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.3", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.3", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "custom" }, { "version": "5.4.163", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "custom" }, { "version": "5.10.83", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "custom" }, { "version": "5.15.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "custom" }, { "version": "5.16", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7b6f44856da5ba0b1aa61403eb9fddd272156503" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b70ff391deeec35cdd8a05f5f63f5fe28bc4f225" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/39509d76a9a3d02f379d52cb4b1449469c56c0e0" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1c743127cc54b112b155f434756bd4b5fa565a99" } ], "title": "net: nexthop: fix null pointer dereference when IPv6 is not enabled", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-a5840b7849dd" } } }, "cveMetadata": { "assignerOrgId": "f4215fc3-5b6b-47ff-a258-f7189bd81038", "cveID": "CVE-2021-47572", "requesterUserId": "gregkh@kernel.org", "serial": "1", "state": "PUBLISHED" }, "dataType": "CVE_RECORD", "dataVersion": "5.0" }
