ipv6: make DAD fail with enhanced DAD when nonce length differs
[ Upstream commit e66515999b627368892ccc9b3a13a506f2ea1357 ]
Commit adc176c54722 ("ipv6 addrconf: Implemented enhanced DAD (RFC7527)")
added enhanced DAD with a nonce length of 6 bytes. However, RFC7527
doesn't specify the length of the nonce, other than being 6 + 8*k bytes,
with integer k >= 0 (RFC3971 5.3.2). The current implementation simply
assumes that the nonce will always be 6 bytes, but others systems are
free to choose different sizes.
If another system sends a nonce of different length but with the same 6
bytes prefix, it shouldn't be considered as the same nonce. Thus, check
that the length of the received nonce is the same as the length we sent.
Ugly scapy test script running on veth0:
def loop():
pkt=sniff(iface="veth0", filter="icmp6", count=1)
pkt = pkt[0]
b = bytearray(pkt[Raw].load)
b[1] += 1
b += b'\xde\xad\xbe\xef\xde\xad\xbe\xef'
pkt[Raw].load = bytes(b)
pkt[IPv6].plen += 8
# fixup checksum after modifying the payload
pkt[IPv6].payload.cksum -= 0x3b44
if pkt[IPv6].payload.cksum < 0:
pkt[IPv6].payload.cksum += 0xffff
sendp(pkt, iface="veth0")
This should result in DAD failure for any address added to veth0's peer,
but is currently ignored.
