If a non local multicast packet reaches ip_route_input_rcu() while the ingress device IPv4 private data (in_dev) is NULL, we end up doing a NULL pointer dereference in IN_DEV_MFORWARD().
Since the later call to ip_route_input_mc() is going to fail if !in_dev, we can fail early in such scenario and avoid the dangerous code path. v1 -> v2: - clarified the commit message, no code changes Reported-by: Tianhao Zhao <tiz...@redhat.com> Fixes: e58e41596811 ("net: Enable support for VRF with ipv4 multicast") Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pab...@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsah...@gmail.com> --- net/ipv4/route.c | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/ipv4/route.c b/net/ipv4/route.c index 7bb9128c8363..e40e56e014a0 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/route.c +++ b/net/ipv4/route.c @@ -2144,12 +2144,13 @@ int ip_route_input_rcu(struct sk_buff *skb, __be32 daddr, __be32 saddr, int our = 0; int err = -EINVAL; - if (in_dev) - our = ip_check_mc_rcu(in_dev, daddr, saddr, - ip_hdr(skb)->protocol); + if (!in_dev) + return err; + our = ip_check_mc_rcu(in_dev, daddr, saddr, + ip_hdr(skb)->protocol); /* check l3 master if no match yet */ - if ((!in_dev || !our) && netif_is_l3_slave(dev)) { + if (!our && netif_is_l3_slave(dev)) { struct in_device *l3_in_dev; l3_in_dev = __in_dev_get_rcu(skb->dev); -- 2.20.1
