arp: do not assume dev_hard_header() does not change skb->head

2026-01-19T12:12:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit c92510f5e3f82ba11c95991824a41e59a9c5ed81 ] arp_create() is the only dev_hard_header() caller making assumption about skb->head being unchanged. A recent commit broke this assumption. Initialize @arp pointer after dev_hard_header() call.

arp: Prevent overflow in arp_req_get().

2024-03-01T12:16:51+00:00

commit a7d6027790acea24446ddd6632d394096c0f4667 upstream. syzkaller reported an overflown write in arp_req_get(). [0] When ioctl(SIOCGARP) is issued, arp_req_get() looks up an neighbour entry and copies neigh->ha to struct arpreq.arp_ha.sa_data. The arp_ha here is struct sockaddr, not struct sockaddr_storage, so the sa_data buffer is just 14 bytes. In the splat below, 2 bytes are overflown to the next int field, arp_flags. We initialise the field just after the memcpy(), so it's not a problem. However, when dev->addr_len is greater than 22 (e.g. MAX_ADDR_LEN), arp_netmask is overwritten, which could be set as htonl(0xFFFFFFFFUL) in arp_ioctl() before calling arp_req_get(). To avoid the overflow, let's limit the max length of memcpy(). Note that commit b5f0de6df6dc ("net: dev: Convert sa_data to flexible array in struct sockaddr") just silenced syzkaller.

ipv4: Invalidate neighbour for broadcast address upon address addition

2022-04-13T19:00:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0c51e12e218f20b7d976158fdc18019627326f7a ] In case user space sends a packet destined to a broadcast address when a matching broadcast route is not configured, the kernel will create a unicast neighbour entry that will never be resolved [1]. When the broadcast route is configured, the unicast neighbour entry will not be invalidated and continue to linger, resulting in packets being dropped. Solve this by invalidating unresolved neighbour entries for broadcast addresses after routes for these addresses are internally configured by the kernel. This allows the kernel to create a broadcast neighbour entry following the next route lookup. Another possible solution that is more generic but also more complex is to have the ARP code register a listener to the FIB notification chain and invalidate matching neighbour entries upon the addition of broadcast routes. It is also possible to wave off the issue as a user space problem, but it seems a bit excessive to expect user space to be that intimately familiar with the inner workings of the FIB/neighbour kernel code.

net: Exempt multicast addresses from five-second neighbor lifetime

2020-11-13T22:24:39+00:00

Commit 58956317c8de ("neighbor: Improve garbage collection") guarantees neighbour table entries a five-second lifetime. Processes which make heavy use of multicast can fill the neighour table with multicast addresses in five seconds. At that point, neighbour entries can't be GC-ed because they aren't five seconds old yet, the kernel log starts to fill up with "neighbor table overflow!" messages, and sends start to fail. This patch allows multicast addresses to be thrown out before they've lived out their five seconds. This makes room for non-multicast addresses and makes messages to all addresses more reliable in these circumstances.

net: Evict neighbor entries on carrier down

2018-10-12T16:47:39+00:00

When a link's carrier goes down it could be a sign of the port changing networks. If the new network has overlapping addresses with the old one, then the kernel will continue trying to use neighbor entries established based on the old network until the entries finally age out - meaning a potentially long delay with communications not working. This patch evicts neighbor entries on carrier down with the exception of those marked permanent. Permanent entries are managed by userspace (either an admin or a routing daemon such as FRR).

arp: fix arp_filter on l3slave devices

2018-04-06T02:05:03+00:00

arp_filter performs an ip_route_output search for arp source address and checks if output device is the same where the arp request was received, if it is not, the arp request is not answered. This route lookup is always done on main route table so l3slave devices never find the proper route and arp is not answered. Passing l3mdev_master_ifindex_rcu(dev) return value as oif fixes the lookup for l3slave devices while maintaining same behavior for non l3slave devices as this function returns 0 in that case.
