https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D249261 Bug ID: 249261 Summary: Kernel ignores RTAX_IFP if an exact RTAX_IFA match is found Product: Base System Version: Unspecified Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: demiobenour@gmail.com If an RTM_ADD command on a routing socket includes an RTA_IFA sockaddr, and that sockaddr is an exact match for one of the interfaces in the relevant routing domain, the RTA_IFP sockaddr is ignored. If there are multiple interfaces with the same IP address, this can cause packets to be sent out the wrong interface. I expected that an RTA_IFP sockaddr will always be honored. That is, the route will always use the interface supplied, regardless of what the other sockaddrs in the message are. If the kernel is not able to ensure this, it should return an error. I found this bug on OpenBSD. I don=E2=80=99t have access to a FreeBSD mach= ine, but a cursory look at the source code [1] indicates that FreeBSD likely has the s= ame bug, so I decided to report it just in case. I did manage to create a shell script that reproduces the bug: # replace these by any unused Ethernet pseudo-interfaces IF1=3Dtap0 IF2=3Dtap1 ifconfig "$IF1" destroy 2>/dev/null ifconfig "$IF2" destroy 2>/dev/null dummy_mac=3Dfe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff dummy_ip=3D192.0.2.5 ifconfig vether0 create lladdr "$dummy_mac" ifconfig "$IF2" create lladdr "$dummy_mac" ifconfig vether0 inet "$dummy_ip" prefixlen 32 route -n delete "$dummy_ip/32" "$dummy_ip" ifconfig "$IF2" inet "$dummy_ip" prefixlen 32 route -n delete "$dummy_ip/32" "$dummy_ip" route -n add -inet 192.0.2.6 -static -iface -llinfo -link "$IF2" -i= fp vether1 -inet -ifa "$dummy_ip" route -n show -inet If the bug affects FreeBSD, the route to 192.0.2.6 will be via $IF2, wherea= s if the bug does not affect FreeBSD, it will be via $IF1.
