Initial discussion was: [FYI] xfrm: Don't lookup sk_policy for timewait sockets
Forwarded frames should not have a socket attached. Especially tw sockets will lead to panics later-on in the stack. This was observed with TPROXY assigning a tw socket and broken policy routing (misconfigured). As a result frame enters forwarding path instead of input. We cannot solve this in TPROXY as it cannot know that policy routing is broken. v2: Remove useless comment Signed-off-by: Sebastian Poehn <sebastian.po...@gmail.com> --- diff --git a/net/ipv4/ip_forward.c b/net/ipv4/ip_forward.c index 939992c..3674484 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/ip_forward.c +++ b/net/ipv4/ip_forward.c @@ -82,6 +82,9 @@ int ip_forward(struct sk_buff *skb) if (skb->pkt_type != PACKET_HOST) goto drop; + if (unlikely(skb->sk)) + goto drop; + if (skb_warn_if_lro(skb)) goto drop; -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
