From: Florian Larysch <fl@xxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit a8801799c6975601fd58ae62f48964caec2eb83f ] inet_rtm_getroute synthesizes a skeletal ICMP skb, which is passed to ip_route_input when iif is given. If a multipath route is present for the designated destination, ip_multipath_icmp_hash ends up being called, which uses the source/destination addresses within the skb to calculate a hash. However, those are not set in the synthetic skb, causing it to return an arbitrary and incorrect result. Instead, use UDP, which gets no such special treatment.
