DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53343

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: icmp6: Fix null-ptr-deref of ip6nullentry->rt6iidev in icmp6dev(). With some IPv6 Ext Hdr (RPL, SRv6, etc.), we can send a packet that has the link-local address as src and dst IP and will be forwarded to an external IP in the IPv6 Ext Hdr. For example, the script below generates a packet whose src IP is the link-local address and dst is updated to 11::. # for f in $(find /proc/sys/net/ -name seg6_enabled); do echo 1 > $f; done # python3 >>> from socket import * >>> from scapy.all import * >>> >>> SRCADDR = DSTADDR = "fe80::5054:ff:fe12:3456" >>> >>> pkt = IPv6(src=SRCADDR, dst=DSTADDR) >>> pkt /= IPv6ExtHdrSegmentRouting(type=4, addresses=["11::", "22::"], segleft=1) >>> >>> sk = socket(AFINET6, SOCKRAW, IPPROTORAW) >>> sk.sendto(bytes(pkt), (DSTADDR, 0)) For such a packet, we call ip6routeinput() to look up a route for the next destination in these three functions depending on the header type. * ipv6rthdrrcv() * ipv6rplsrhrcv() * ipv6srhrcv() If no route is found, ip6nullentry is set to skb, and the following dstinput(skb) calls ip6pktdrop(). Finally, in icmp6dev(), we dereference skbrt6info(skb)->rt6iidev->dev as the input device is the loopback interface. Then, we have to check if skbrt6info(skb)->rt6iidev is NULL or not to avoid NULL pointer deref for ip6nullentry.
