This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ipv6: don't accept node local multicast traffic from the wire to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From f3f6a6354e5b7afafb5ab096714bd97fc6ea16a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:13:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: don't accept node local multicast traffic from the wire commit 1c4a154e5253687c51123956dfcee9e9dfa8542d upstream. Erik Hugne's errata proposal (Errata ID: 3480) to RFC4291 has been verified: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=3480 We have to check for pkt_type and loopback flag because either the packets are allowed to travel over the loopback interface (in which case pkt_type is PACKET_HOST and IFF_LOOPBACK flag is set) or they travel over a non-loopback interface back to us (in which case PACKET_TYPE is PACKET_LOOPBACK and IFF_LOOPBACK flag is not set).
