Subject: [PATCH net v2] ipv6: raw: fix use-after-free in rawv6_send_hdrinc()
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 12:48:08 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026044808.613-1-n0ps1edzz@gmail.com> (raw)
rawv6_send_hdrinc() caches the route before handing the skb to
l3mdev_ip6_out(). The VRF output path may replace skb->dst and release
the original route, leaving the cached pointer stale.
The function later dereferences that pointer for statistics accounting
and as the output device passed to NF_HOOK(). Its RCU read-side critical
section starts after l3mdev_ip6_out(), so it cannot prevent the old route
from being reclaimed in between.
Reload the route from the current skb destination after
l3mdev_ip6_out() returns.
KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free in rawv6_sendmsg(), with the route
allocated by ip6_dst_alloc(), freed by dst_destroy() from rcu_core(), and
the related RCU callback queued from vrf_l3_out().
Fixes: 4c1feac58e06 ("net: vrf: Flip IPv6 output path from FIB lookup hook to out hook")

Changes in v2:
- Rebased onto the current net tree at 7076f684d513.
- Regenerated the patch with git-format-patch so it applies cleanly.
- Corrected the Fixes tag to the commit that made the IPv6 VRF path reachable.
- Shortened the code comment and added the required recipients.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/6adad51d.8fc0b0c9.1ec657.1868@mx.google.com
Thank you to Hangbin Liu for reviewing v1 and pointing out the submission
issues.
