Subject: Re: [PATCH] seg6: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in fl6_update_dst()

I’m already working on a fix for this bug.

This patch leads to a bigger semantic problem as it will send SRv6 
packets to the second segment not the first segment (as is does not 
exist in the SRH).

Please see my explanation below.

The main issue is the seg6_validate_srh() which is used to validate SRH 
for two cases:

case1: SRH of data-plane SRv6 packets to be processed /forwarded by the 
Linux kernel.
Case2: SRH of the netlink message received  from user-space (iproute2)

In case1, the SRH can be encoded in the Reduced way and the 
seg6_validate_srh() now handles this case correctly.

In case2, the SRH shouldn’t be encoded in the Reduced way otherwise we 
lose the first segment (i.e., the first hop).

The current issue is that the seg6_validate_srh() allow SRH of case2 to 
be encoded in the Reduced way. Hence the out-of-bounds problem.

I’m working on patch to verify the SRH differently depending if it is 
part of received SRv6 packet or a netlink message.
