Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ipv6: Add lwtunnel encap size of all siblings in nexthop calculation<br />
<br />
In function rt6_nlmsg_size(), the length of nexthop is calculated<br />
by multipling the nexthop length of fib6_info and the number of<br />
siblings. However if the fib6_info has no lwtunnel but the siblings<br />
have lwtunnels, the nexthop length is less than it should be, and<br />
it will trigger a warning in inet6_rt_notify() as follows:<br />
<br />
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6082 at net/ipv6/route.c:6180 inet6_rt_notify+0x120/0x130<br />

This bug can be reproduced by script:<br />
<br />
ip -6 addr add 2002::2/64 dev ens2<br />
ip -6 route add 100::/64 via 2002::1 dev ens2 metric 100<br />
<br />
for i in 10 20 30 40 50 60 70;<br />
do<br />
ip link add link ens2 name ipv_$i type ipvlan<br />
ip -6 addr add 2002::$i/64 dev ipv_$i<br />
ifconfig ipv_$i up<br />
done<br />
<br />
for i in 10 20 30 40 50 60;<br />
do<br />
ip -6 route append 100::/64 encap ip6 dst 2002::$i via 2002::1<br />
dev ipv_$i metric 100<br />
done<br />
<br />
ip -6 route append 100::/64 via 2002::1 dev ipv_70 metric 100<br />
<br />
This patch fixes it by adding nexthop_len of every siblings using<br />
rt6_nh_nlmsg_size().
