Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: openvswitch: fix overwriting ct original tuple for ICMPv6
OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE has 3 main attributes:
- OVS_PACKET_ATTR_KEY - Packet metadata in a netlink format.
- OVS_PACKET_ATTR_PACKET - Binary packet content.
- OVS_PACKET_ATTR_ACTIONS - Actions to execute on the packet.
OVS_PACKET_ATTR_KEY is parsed first to populate sw_flow_key structure
with the metadata like conntrack state, input port, recirculation id,
etc. Then the packet itself gets parsed to populate the rest of the
keys from the packet headers.
Whenever the packet parsing code starts parsing the ICMPv6 header, it
first zeroes out fields in the key corresponding to Neighbor Discovery
information even if it is not an ND packet.
It is an 'ipv6.nd' field. However, the 'ipv6' is a union that shares
the space between 'nd' and 'ct_orig' that holds the original tuple
conntrack metadata parsed from the OVS_PACKET_ATTR_KEY.
ND packets should not normally have conntrack state, so it's fine to
share the space, but normal ICMPv6 Echo packets or maybe other types of
ICMPv6 can have the state attached and it should not be overwritten.
The issue results in all but the last 4 bytes of the destination
address being wiped from the original conntrack tuple leading to
incorrect packet matching and potentially executing wrong actions
in case this packet recirculates within the datapath or goes back
to userspace.
ND fields should not be accessed in non-ND packets, so not clearing
them should be fine. Executing memset() only for actual ND packets to
avoid the issue.
Initializing the whole thing before parsing is needed because ND packet
may not contain all the options.
The issue only affects the OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE path and doesn't
affect packets entering OVS datapath from network interfaces, because
in this case CT metadata is populated from skb after the packet is
already parsed.

OVS_PACKET_ATTR_KEY se analiza primero para completar la estructura sw_flow_key con metadatos como el estado de conexi\u00f3n, el puerto de entrada, la identificaci\u00f3n de recirculaci\u00f3n, etc. Luego, el paquete en s\u00ed se analiza para completar el resto de las claves de los encabezados del paquete. Siempre que el c\u00f3digo de an\u00e1lisis de paquetes comienza a analizar el encabezado ICMPv6, primero pone a cero los campos en la clave correspondiente a la informaci\u00f3n de descubrimiento de vecinos, incluso si no es un paquete ND.

No se debe acceder a los campos ND en paquetes que no sean ND, por lo que no borrarlos deber\u00eda estar bien. Ejecutar memset() solo para paquetes ND reales para evitar el problema. Es necesario inicializar todo antes del an\u00e1lisis porque es posible que el paquete ND no contenga todas las opciones. El problema solo afecta la ruta OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE y no afecta a los paquetes que ingresan a la ruta de datos OVS desde las interfaces de red, porque en este caso los metadatos CT se completan desde skb despu\u00e9s de que el paquete ya se haya analizado.\"}],\"metrics\":{},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0b532f59437f688563e9c58bdc1436fefa46e3b5\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/431e9215576d7b728f3f53a704d237a520092120\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/483eb70f441e2df66ade78aa7217e6e4caadfef3\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5ab6aecbede080b44b8e34720ab72050bf1e6982\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a51ac92bf35d34b4996d6eb67e2fe469f573b11\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/78741b4caae1e880368cb2f5110635f3ce45ecfd\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7c988176b6c16c516474f6fceebe0f055af5eb56\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9ec8b0ccadb908d92f7ee211a4eff05fd932f3f6\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d73fb8bddf89503c9fae7c42e50d44c89909aad6\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0b532f59437f688563e9c58bdc1436fefa46e3b5\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/431e9215576d7b728f3f53a704d237a520092120\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/483eb70f441e2df66ade78aa7217e6e4caadfef3\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5ab6aecbede080b44b8e34720ab72050bf1e6982\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a51ac92bf35d34b4996d6eb67e2fe469f573b11\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/78741b4caae1e880368cb2f5110635f3ce45ecfd\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7c988176b6c16c516474f6fceebe0f055af5eb56\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9ec8b0ccadb908d92f7ee211a4eff05fd932f3f6\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d73fb8bddf89503c9fae7c42e50d44c89909aad6\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"}]}}"
