Subject: [PATCH 1/1] net: bridge: fix a bug on using a neighbour cache entry without checking its state
Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2019 11:28:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1546745293-5678-1-git-send-email-kchen@synology.com> (raw)
From: JianJhen Chen <kchen@synology.com>
When handling DNAT'ed packets on a bridge device, the neighbour cache entry
from lookup was used without checking its state. It means that a cache entry
in the NUD_STALE state will be used directly instead of entering the NUD_DELAY
state to confirm the reachability of the neighbor.
This problem becomes worse after commit 2724680bceee ("neigh: Keep neighbour
cache entries if number of them is small enough."), since all neighbour cache
entries in the NUD_STALE state will be kept in the neighbour table as long as
the number of cache entries does not exceed the value specified in gc_thresh1.
This commit validates the state of a neighbour cache entry before using
the entry.
