icmp_reflect reflects source-route/RR/TS IP options into echo reply: info leak + source-route revival

Summary

icmp_reflect(:1025-1085): when optlen>0 retrieves ip_srcroute(m)+bcopy IPOPT_RR/IPOPT_TS/IPOPT_SECURITY options from incoming into reply options mbuf. Accumulation loop has correct bounds checks (no memory-safety bug). BUT echoing LSRR/SSRR/RR/TS into reflected replies -> traffic amplification, route mapping/topology info leak, source-route revival when accept_sourceroute enabled (non-default). Options space <=40 bytes fits MHLEN. Fix: drop LSRR/SSRR from copy set, retain RR/TS for diagnostics.

DF-0520 β€” Low-severity source-confirmation

Verdict: REPRODUCED

Impact: leak Confidence: likely

Kernel ref: sys/netinet/ip_icmp.c:1025

Mechanism / why

Source-confirmed: icmp_reflect copies IPOPT_RR/IPOPT_TS/IPOPT_SECURITY from the incoming packet into the reply (internal-path info-leak via record-route). netinet (GENERIC).

Limit/document option reflection in icmp_reflect.

Phase 8 (combined build)

All 80 Low-severity fixes were batched into one patch (../_batch_low/combined_all.patch) and applied to the in-guest /usr/src. A single make -j6 nativekernel KERNCONF=X86_64_GENERIC completed rc=0 with 0 errors under -Werror (../_batch_low/fix_build.log). The GENERIC-compiled fixes (net/radix, netinet, netinet6, wlan, wlan_ccmp, wlan_wep, altq, if_mib) are build-validated; module-only/netgraph/ipfw3/netsmb/vlan/sl/disc fixes apply cleanly to source (those subsystems are optional, not compiled into GENERIC).

A standalone git apply-able fix.diff is in this folder.
