mpls: fix NULL deref in mpls_valid_fib_dump_req() on CONFIG_INET=n
Get instant alerts when new vulnerabilities affect Linux - before attackers find them.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mpls: fix NULL deref in mpls_valid_fib_dump_req() on CONFIG_INET=n On CONFIG_INET=n builds, mpls_valid_fib_dump_req() walks the parsed attribute table itself instead of calling ip_valid_fib_dump_req(). The RTA_OIF arm passes tb[RTA_OIF] to nla_get_u32() without checking it is present, so an RTM_GETROUTE dump for AF_MPLS with strict checking and no RTA_OIF hits a NULL dereference. RTM_GETROUTE is RTNL_KIND_GET, which rtnetlink_rcv_msg() permits without CAP_NET_ADMIN, so an unprivileged user can trigger it. Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007] RIP: 0010:mpls_valid_fib_dump_req (net/mpls/af_mpls.c:2189) Call Trace: mpls_dump_routes (net/mpls/af_mpls.c:2236) netlink_dump (net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2331) __netlink_dump_start (net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2446) rtnetlink_rcv_msg (net/core/rtnetlink.c:7033) netlink_rcv_skb (net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2556) netlink_unicast (net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1345) netlink_sendmsg (net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1900) __sock_sendmsg (net/socket.c:790) ____sys_sendmsg (net/socket.c:2684) ___sys_sendmsg (net/socket.c:2738) __sys_sendmsg (net/socket.c:2770) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121) Skip unset attributes, as ip_valid_fib_dump_req() does.
