bridge: br_nd_send: validate ND option lengths

2026-04-18T08:31:12+00:00

commit 850837965af15707fd3142c1cf3c5bfaf022299b upstream. br_nd_send() walks ND options according to option-provided lengths. A malformed option can make the parser advance beyond the computed option span or use a too-short source LLADDR option payload. Validate option lengths against the remaining NS option area before advancing, and only read source LLADDR when the option is large enough for an Ethernet address.

bridge: br_nd_send: linearize skb before parsing ND options

2026-04-18T08:31:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit a01aee7cafc575bb82f5529e8734e7052f9b16ea ] br_nd_send() parses neighbour discovery options from ns->opt[] and assumes that these options are in the linear part of request. Its callers only guarantee that the ICMPv6 header and target address are available, so the option area can still be non-linear. Parsing ns->opt[] in that case can access data past the linear buffer. Linearize request before option parsing and derive ns from the linear network header.

net: bridge: fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled

2026-04-18T08:30:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit e5e890630533bdc15b26a34bb8e7ef539bdf1322 ] When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called which initializes it. Then, if neigh_suppress is enabled and an ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery packet reaches the bridge, br_do_suppress_nd() will dereference ipv6_stub->nd_tbl which is NULL, passing it to neigh_lookup(). This causes a kernel NULL pointer dereference.

bridge: fix C-VLAN preservation in 802.1ad vlan_tunnel egress

2026-01-19T12:12:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3128df6be147768fe536986fbb85db1d37806a9f ] When using an 802.1ad bridge with vlan_tunnel, the C-VLAN tag is incorrectly stripped from frames during egress processing. br_handle_egress_vlan_tunnel() uses skb_vlan_pop() to remove the S-VLAN from hwaccel before VXLAN encapsulation. However, skb_vlan_pop() also moves any "next" VLAN from the payload into hwaccel: /* move next vlan tag to hw accel tag */ __skb_vlan_pop(skb, &vlan_tci); __vlan_hwaccel_put_tag(skb, vlan_proto, vlan_tci); For QinQ frames where the C-VLAN sits in the payload, this moves it to hwaccel where it gets lost during VXLAN encapsulation. Fix by calling __vlan_hwaccel_clear_tag() directly, which clears only the hwaccel S-VLAN and leaves the payload untouched. This path is only taken when vlan_tunnel is enabled and tunnel_info is configured, so 802.1Q bridges are unaffected. Tested with 802.1ad bridge + VXLAN vlan_tunnel, verified C-VLAN preserved in VXLAN payload via tcpdump.

bridge: Redirect to backup port when port is administratively down

2025-12-06T21:08:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3d05b24429e1de7a17c8fdccb04a04dbc8ad297b ] If a backup port is configured for a bridge port, the bridge will redirect known unicast traffic towards the backup port when the primary port is administratively up but without a carrier. This is useful, for example, in MLAG configurations where a system is connected to two switches and there is a peer link between both switches. The peer link serves as the backup port in case one of the switches loses its connection to the multi-homed system. In order to avoid flooding when the primary port loses its carrier, the bridge does not flush dynamic FDB entries pointing to the port upon STP disablement, if the port has a backup port. The above means that known unicast traffic destined to the primary port will be blackholed when the port is put administratively down, until the FDB entries pointing to it are aged-out. Given that the current behavior is quite weird and unlikely to be depended on by anyone, amend the bridge to redirect to the backup port also when the primary port is administratively down and not only when it does not have a carrier. The change is motivated by a report from a user who expected traffic to be redirected to the backup port when the primary port was put administratively down while debugging a network issue.

netfilter: bridge: Move specific fragmented packet to slow_path instead of dropping it

[ Upstream commit aa04c6f45b9224b949aa35d4fa5f8d0ba07b23d4 ] The config NF_CONNTRACK_BRIDGE will change the bridge forwarding for fragmented packets.

In original br_forward, insufficient headroom of skb may indeed exist, but there's still a way to save the skb in the device driver after dev_queue_xmit.So droping the skb will change the original bridge forwarding in some cases.

bridge: netfilter: Fix forwarding of fragmented packets

2025-06-04T12:37:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 91b6dbced0ef1d680afdd69b14fc83d50ebafaf3 ] When netfilter defrag hooks are loaded (due to the presence of conntrack rules, for example), fragmented packets entering the bridge will be defragged by the bridge's pre-routing hook (br_nf_pre_routing() -> ipv4_conntrack_defrag()). Later on, in the bridge's post-routing hook, the defragged packet will be fragmented again. If the size of the largest fragment is larger than what the kernel has determined as the destination MTU (using ip_skb_dst_mtu()), the defragged packet will be dropped. Before commit ac6627a28dbf ("net: ipv4: Consolidate ipv4_mtu and ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward"), ip_skb_dst_mtu() would return dst_mtu() as the destination MTU. Assuming the dst entry attached to the packet is the bridge's fake rtable one, this would simply be the bridge's MTU (see fake_mtu()). However, after above mentioned commit, ip_skb_dst_mtu() ends up returning the route's MTU stored in the dst entry's metrics. Ideally, in case the dst entry is the bridge's fake rtable one, this should be the bridge's MTU as the bridge takes care of updating this metric when its MTU changes (see br_change_mtu()). Unfortunately, the last operation is a no-op given the metrics attached to the fake rtable entry are marked as read-only. Therefore, ip_skb_dst_mtu() ends up returning 1500 (the initial MTU value) and defragged packets are dropped during fragmentation when dealing with large fragments and high MTU (e.g., 9k). Fix by moving the fake rtable entry's metrics to be per-bridge (in a similar fashion to the fake rtable entry itself) and marking them as writable, thereby allowing MTU changes to be reflected.
