commit87fbfffcc8upstream. I am seeing ping failures to IPv6 linklocal addresses with Debian buster. Easiest example to reproduce is: $ ping -c1 -w1 ff02::1%eth1 connect: Invalid argument $ ping -c1 -w1 ff02::1%eth1 PING ff02::01%eth1(ff02::1%eth1) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from fe80::e0:f9ff:fe0c:37%eth1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.059 ms git bisect traced the failure to commitb9ef5513c9("smack: Check address length before reading address family") Arguably ping is being stupid since the buster version is not setting the address family properly (ping on stretch for example does): $ strace -e connect ping6 -c1 -w1 ff02::1%eth1 connect(5, {sa_family=AF_UNSPEC, sa_data="\4\1\0\0\0\0\377\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\3\0\0\0"}, 28) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) but the command works fine on kernels prior to this commit, so this is breakage which goes against the Linux paradigm of "don't break userspace" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Suggested-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> security/smack/smack_lsm.c | 41 +++++++++++++++++++---------------------- security/smack/smack_lsm.c | 41 +++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-)
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
