In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: Fix icmp host relookup triggering ip_rt_bug

arp link failure may trigger ip_rt_bug while xfrm enabled, call trace is:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at net/ipv4/route.c:1241 ip_rt_bug+0x14/0x20

Modules linked in:

CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.12.0-rc6-00077-g2e1b3cc9d7f7

Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996),

BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014

RIP: 0010:ip_rt_bug+0x14/0x20

The script below reproduces this scenario:

ip xfrm policy add src 0.0.0.0/0 dst 0.0.0.0/0 \

dir out priority 0 ptype main flag localok icmp

ip l a veth1 type veth

ip a a 192.168.141.111/24 dev veth0

ip l s veth0 up

ping 192.168.141.155 -c 1

icmp_route_lookup() create input routes for locally generated packets

while xfrm relookup ICMP traffic.Then it will set input route

(dst->out = ip_rt_bug) to skb for DESTUNREACH.

For ICMP err triggered by locally generated packets, dst->dev of output

route is loopback. Generally, xfrm relookup verification is not required

on loopback interfaces (net.ipv4.conf.lo.disable_xfrm = 1).

Skip icmp relookup for locally generated packets to fix it.
