Description Phil Sutter 2016-11-29 16:56:06 UTC

The following command crashes nft utility reproducibly:

# nft add rule ip6 test ftest ip6 nexthdr ipv6-frag counter

Analysis of the cause using gdb and looking at differences between version 0.6 and upstream (which works fine) shows we're missing the following commit:

commit 3503738f77cdbe521da1054a37f59ac2e442b4cf
Author: Florian Westphal <fw>
Date:   Mon Jun 6 21:52:28 2016 +0200

    payload: don't update protocol context if we can't find a description
    
    Since commit
    20b1131c07acd2fc ("payload: fix stacked headers protocol context tracking")
    we deref null pointer if we can't find a description for the desired
    protocol, so "ip protocol 254" crashes while testing protocols 6 or 17
    (tcp, udp) works.
    
    Also add a test case for this.
