Subject: [PATCH net 3/3] net: bonding: Fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2026 14:46:28 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260228-net-nd_tbl_fixes-v1-3-2b2a274df9bb@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260228-net-nd_tbl_fixes-v1-0-2b2a274df9bb@suse.com>

When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never
initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called
which initializes it. If bonding ARP/NS validation is enabled, an IPv6
NS/NA packet received on a slave can reach bond_validate_na(), which
calls bond_has_this_ip6(). That path calls ipv6_chk_addr() and can
crash in __ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags().

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000005d8
 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

Fix this by adding an early check in bond_confirm_addr6(). If
ipv6_stub->nd_tbl is NULL, return before calling ipv6_chk_addr().
