DF-0424

Unvalidated mf6cc_parent stored in MFC: OOB read in ip6_mdq debug path when parent >= MAXMIFS(64)

Summary

add_m6fc(:751,:713,:797,:821) copies mf6cc_parent(mifi_t u_short 0..65535) into rt->mf6c_parent without checking vs nummifs or MAXMIFS(64). Fast path ip6_mdq(:1307,:1324) guards mifi<nummifs. But MRT6DEBUG log(:1314) derefs mif6table[mifi].m6_ifp->if_index with UNVALIDATED mifi. mifi up to 65535, array has 64 entries -> OOB read up to 65535*struct mif6 past array + pointer deref. Panic if MRT6DEBUG compiled in. Priv user installs MFC, remote multicast triggers.

DF-0424 - Verification Verdict

Verdict: REPRODUCED (source-only confirmation)

Bug class: oob-read

Impact: none

Source file: sys/netinet6/ip6_mroute.c

Mechanism

CONFIRMED: add_m6fc copies mf6cc_parent(mifi_t 0..65535) without checking vs MAXMIFS(64). MRT6DEBUG log derefs mif6table[mifi]. Latent debug-only.

Fix

See fix.diff for the git-apply-able patch.

Build validation

Combined kernel build with all 70 Low-severity fixes: rc=0, -Werror. All fixes compile cleanly in X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration.

PoC changes

Created fix.diff for DF-0424. No PoC binary (source-only verification).

Verified recommended fix

Validate mf6cc_parent < nummifs. Matches finding proposal.

Verdict

CONFIRMED source-only: mf6cc_parent not checked vs MAXMIFS(64). MRT6DEBUG derefs mif6table[mifi].
