    ipv6: make icmp6_send() robust against null skb->dev · 8d933670
    Eric Dumazet authored
    syzbot was able to crash one host with the following stack trace :
    
    kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access
    general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
    CPU: 0 PID: 8625 Comm: syz-executor4 Not tainted 4.20.0+ #8
    RIP: 0010:dev_net include/linux/netdevice.h:2169 [inline]
    RIP: 0010:icmp6_send+0x116/0x2d30 net/ipv6/icmp.c:426
     icmpv6_send
     smack_socket_sock_rcv_skb
     security_sock_rcv_skb
     sk_filter_trim_cap
     __sk_receive_skb
     dccp_v6_do_rcv
     release_sock
    
    This is because a RX packet found socket owned by user and
    was stored into socket backlog. Before leaving RCU protected section,
    skb->dev was cleared in __sk_receive_skb(). When socket backlog
    was finally handled at release_sock() time, skb was fed to
    smack_socket_sock_rcv_skb() then icmp6_send()
    
    We could fix the bug in smack_socket_sock_rcv_skb(), or simply
    make icmp6_send() more robust against such possibility.
    
    In the future we might provide to icmp6_send() the net pointer
    instead of infering it.
