If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 1fe4850b34ab512ff911e2c035c75fb6438f7307 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2023 16:41:48 -0800 Subject: bpf: bpf_fib_lookup should not return neigh in NUD_FAILED state From: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1fe4850b34ab512ff911e2c035c75fb6438f7307 upstream. The bpf_fib_lookup() helper does not only look up the fib (ie. route) but it also looks up the neigh. Before returning the neigh, the helper does not check for NUD_VALID. When a neigh state (neigh->nud_state) is in NUD_FAILED, its dmac (neigh->ha) could be all zeros. The helper still returns SUCCESS instead of NO_NEIGH in this case. Because of the SUCCESS return value, the bpf prog directly uses the returned dmac and ends up filling all zero in the eth header. This patch checks for NUD_VALID and returns NO_NEIGH if the neigh is not valid.
