CVE-2017-13686 (published 2017-08-24T22:29Z)

net/ipv4/route.c in the Linux kernel 4.13-rc1 through 4.13-rc6 is too late to check for a NULL fi field when RTM_F_FIB_MATCH is set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls. NOTE: this does not affect any stable release.

Severity: HIGH
CVSS v2 base score: 7.2 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)
CVSS v3 base score: 7.8, HIGH (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-476
cwe_name: NULL Pointer Dereference
description: The product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is NULL.

This patch adds a res->fi NULL check.

example run:
$ip route get 0.0.0.0 iif virt1-0
broadcast 0.0.0.0 dev lo
    cache <local,brd> iif virt1-0

$ip route get 0.0.0.0 iif virt1-0 fibmatch
RTNETLINK answers: No route to host
