Subject: CVE-2023-53342: net: marvell: prestera: fix handling IPv4 routes with nhid
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: marvell: prestera: fix handling IPv4 routes with nhid
Fix handling IPv4 routes referencing a nexthop via its id by replacing
calls to fib_info_nh() with fib_info_nhc().
Trying to add an IPv4 route referencing a nextop via nhid:
$ ip link set up swp5
$ ip a a 10.0.0.1/24 dev swp5
$ ip nexthop add dev swp5 id 20 via 10.0.0.2
$ ip route add 10.0.1.0/24 nhid 20
triggers warnings when trying to handle the route:

and results in a non offloaded route:
$ ip route
10.0.0.0/24 dev swp5 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.0.1 rt_trap
10.0.1.0/24 nhid 20 via 10.0.0.2 dev swp5 rt_trap
When creating a route referencing a nexthop via its ID, the nexthop will
be stored in a separate nh pointer instead of the array of nexthops in
the fib_info struct. This causes issues since fib_info_nh() only handles
the nexthops array, but not the separate nh pointer, and will loudly
WARN about it.
In contrast fib_info_nhc() handles both, but returns a fib_nh_common
pointer instead of a fib_nh pointer. Luckily we only ever access fields
from the fib_nh_common parts, so we can just replace all instances of
fib_info_nh() with fib_info_nhc() and access the fields via their
fib_nh_common names.
This allows handling IPv4 routes with an external nexthop, and they now
get offloaded as expected:
$ ip route
10.0.0.0/24 dev swp5 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.0.1 rt_trap
10.0.1.0/24 nhid 20 via 10.0.0.2 dev swp5 offload rt_offload
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-53342 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
