Functions like ipgre_header(), ip6gre_header(),all use\nnetdev_priv(dev) to access their device-specific private data. When\ncalled with the bond device, netdev_priv() returns the bond's private\ndata (struct bonding) instead of the expected type (e.g. struct\nip_tunnel), leading to garbage values being read and kernel crashes.\n\nFix this by introducing bond_header_ops with wrapper functions that\ndelegate to the active slave's header_ops using the slave's own\ndevice. This ensures netdev_priv() in the slave's header functions\nalways receives the correct device.\n\nThe fix is placed in the bonding driver rather than individual device\ndrivers, as the root cause is bond blindly inheriting header_ops from\nthe slave without considering that these callbacks expect a specific\nnetdev_priv() layout.\n\nThe type confusion can be observed by adding a printk in\nipgre_header() and running the following commands:\n\n ip link add dummy0 type dummy\n ip addr add 10.0.0.1/24 dev dummy0\n ip link set dummy0 up\n ip link add gre1 type gre local 10.0.0.1\n ip link add bond1 type bond mode active-backup\n ip link set gre1 master bond1\n ip link set gre1 up\n ip link set bond1 up\n ip addr add fe80::1/64 dev bond1", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "1284cd3a2b740d0118458d2ea470a1e5bc19b187", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "5d0fb9806ab6cf2c3cfba0e1b8c701da65e25af8" }, { "version": "1284cd3a2b740d0118458d2ea470a1e5bc19b187", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "9baf26a91565b7bb2b1d9f99aaf884a2b28c2f6d" }, { "version": "1284cd3a2b740d0118458d2ea470a1e5bc19b187", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "6ac890f1d60ac3707ee8dae15a67d9a833e49956" }, { "version": "1284cd3a2b740d0118458d2ea470a1e5bc19b187", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "95597d11dc8bddb2b9a051c9232000bfbb5e43ba" }, { "version": "1284cd3a2b740d0118458d2ea470a1e5bc19b187", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "950803f7254721c1c15858fbbfae3deaaeeecb11" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.24", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "2.6.24" }, { "version": "6.6.145", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.12.78", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.18.19", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*" }, { "version": "6.19.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*" }, { "version": "7.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
