DF-0262

IPv6 NAT destination-translation corrupts source address (copy-paste bug)

Summary

NAT default-protocol AF_INET6 dest branch: guard tests daddr(:3896) but body writes PF_ACPY(saddr,...)(:3898) should be daddr. IPv4 sibling(:3883-3887) correct. Copy-paste from source branch. IPv6 NAT policy not enforced for dest + source corrupted. Remote: non-TCP/UDP/ICMPv6 IPv6 packet matching NAT rule.

DF-0262 -- Low

Verdict: REPRODUCED (source-confirmed)

REAL: IPv6 NAT default-protocol dest branch guards on daddr (line 3896) but the body PF_ACPY writes saddr (line 3898) -- copy-paste from the source branch. Inner dest untranslated + source corrupted. Remote.

Fix

Change the bogus PF_ACPY(saddr,...) to PF_ACPY(daddr,...) in the dest branch.

Validation

Combined 60-finding fix kernel (findings/poc/_low_merged.patch) built make -j6 nativekernel KERNCONF=X86_64_GENERIC => rc=0, 0 errors, -Werror. fix_status=fixed.
