Description Flavio Leitner 2009-03-30 23:42:28 UTC
Description of problem:
When IPv6 tunnel payload is less than 40(0x28), packet can be sent to 
network, received in physical interface, but not seen in IP tunnel interface. 
No counter increase in tunnel interface.

Between 2.6.18 and 2.6.25 IPv4 over IPv6 support was added in
both ip6_tunnel.c (the tunnel interface driver) and tunnel6.c
(the encapsulation demultiplexor). In 2.6.26 a trivial bug
in tunnel6.c was fixed, in

    static int tunnel46_rcv(struct sk_buff *skb)
    {
            struct xfrm6_tunnel *handler;

            if (!pskb_may_pull(skb, sizeof(struct ipv6hdr)))
                                                  ^^^^^^^
                    goto drop;

It must be iphdr of course, with the bug IPv4 packets with a size
between 20 and 40 bytes are dropped.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.18-137.el5

How reproducible:
Always
