>Description:
Attaching the bpf device to the loopback interface, and then
attempting to write data always causes a kernel panic. It seems
to have nothing to do with the validity of the data being written,
although the example below is careful to write a valid ICMP packet.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile and run the following program:
/* Bug: writing to bpf(loopback) causes kernel panic
* **DANGER** this -will- crash your machine!
*/
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <net/bpf.h>
/* Here is ping I captured off the loopback interface.
* Sending it out again shouldn't be a problem!
*/
char ping[] = {
0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, /* fix first word endianness later */
0x45, 0x00, 0x00, 0x54,
0xC7, 0xB5, 0x00, 0x00,
0xFF, 0x01, 0xF5, 0xF0, /* Protocol = ICMP */
0x7F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, /* 127.0.0.1 */
0x7F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, /* 127.0.0.1 */
0x08, 0x00, 0x09, 0x66, /* Type = ECHO */
0xBE, 0x03, 0x04, 0x00,
0x73, 0x51, 0xDF, 0x2F,
0xEC, 0x11, 0x03, 0x00,
0x08, 0x09, 0x0A, 0x0B,
0x0C, 0x0D, 0x0E, 0x0F,
0x10, 0x11, 0x12, 0x13,
0x14, 0x15, 0x16, 0x17,
0x18, 0x19, 0x1A, 0x1B,
0x1C, 0x1D, 0x1E, 0x1F,
0x20, 0x21, 0x22, 0x23,
0x24, 0x25, 0x26, 0x27,
