Title:
Charging my cellphone through usb breaks internet connection.
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I don't know what package is responsible for this. I entered iptables
because the ip command was not recognized as a package.
I use the ip route to debug internet problems. Here it is before plugging my
cellphone through usb:
#ip route
default via 192.168.0.1 dev wlp2s0 proto dhcp metric 600
25.0.0.0/8 dev ham0 proto kernel scope link src 25.69.248.65
169.254.0.0/16 dev virbr0 scope link metric 1000 linkdown
192.168.0.0/24 dev wlp2s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.51 metric 600
192.168.122.0/24 dev virbr0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.1
linkdown
Here it is after I plug my cellphone
#ip route
default via 192.168.42.129 dev enp0s20f0u1 proto dhcp metric 100
default via 192.168.0.1 dev wlp2s0 proto dhcp metric 600
25.0.0.0/8 dev ham0 proto kernel scope link src 25.69.248.65
169.254.0.0/16 dev virbr0 scope link metric 1000 linkdown
192.168.0.0/24 dev wlp2s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.51 metric 600
192.168.42.0/24 dev enp0s20f0u1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.42.114
metric 100
192.168.122.0/24 dev virbr0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.1
linkdown
So my computer is trying to access all ips using my cellphone as a
router, which of course fails.
the command "sudo ip route del default" followed by "sudo ip route add
default via 192.168.0.1 dev wlp2s0" restores my connection.
Thank you for your attention. I'm available to answer any questions
and fix this bug. Reporting this bug was already effort diverted from
my other tasks, so let's make this count no matter how deep it cuts.
P.S: I went ahead and marked this bug as a security vulnerability
because I can think of ways this can be exploited, especially if the
cellphone can trigger the bug and route traffic so that the user
doesn't suspect it. If you feel the security impact is small and that
there are other more important security issues, feel free to unmark it
and we can deal with it's usability impact, which is probably more
impactful.
Regards,
Tomás.
