From: Jason Baron <jba...@akamai.com> When read() is called on /proc/net/route requesting a size that is one entry size (128 bytes) less than m->size or greater, the resulting output has missing and/or duplicate entries. Since m->size is typically PAGE_SIZE, for a PAGE_SIZE of 4,096 this means that reads requesting more than 3,968 bytes will see bogus output.
For example: for i in {100..200}; do ip route add 192.168.1.$i dev eth0 done dd if=/proc/net/route of=/tmp/good bs=1024 dd if=/proc/net/route of=/tmp/bad bs=4096 # diff -q /tmp/good /tmp/bad Files /tmp/good and /tmp/bad differ I think this has gone unnoticed, since the output of 'netstat -r' and 'route' is generated by reading in 1,024 byte increments and thus not corrupted. Further, the number of entries in the route table needs to be sufficiently large in order to trigger the problematic case. The issue arises because fib_route_get_idx() does not properly handle the case where pos equals iter->pos. This case only arises when we have a large read buffer size because we end up re-requesting the last entry that overflowed m->buf. In the case of a smaller read buffer size, we don't exceed the size of m->buf, and thus fib_route_get_idx() is called with pos greater than iter->pos. Fix by properly handling the iter->pos == pos case.
