Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: sr: use skb_get_hash_net() in seg6_make_flowlabel()
Since commit d58e468b1112 ("flow_dissector: implements flow dissector
BPF hook") __skb_flow_dissect() needs a net pointer, either from
skb->dev, skb->sk, or since commit 3cbf4ffba5ee ("net: plumb network
namespace into __skb_flow_dissect") a caller provided pointer.
syzbot was able to reach seg6_make_flowlabel() with an skb having
neither skb->dev nor skb->sk set: a TIPC UDP bearer sends a discovery
message through an IPv4 route using seg6 encap, while
net.ipv6.seg6_flowlabel is set to 1.
seg6_make_flowlabel() already has a net pointer, use skb_get_hash_net().
