Re: [PATCH net] xfrm: Fix xfrm sel prefix length validation

[Anirudh Gupta]

Hi Herbert,
Yes, I notice that is the only verification of p->family from userspace.
However, the underlying conditions added in commit '07bf7908950a',
validates the selector src/dest prefix len.

So, In case when adding a new SA entry, the family of Selector src/dst
is IPv6 and state id src/dst family is IPv4.
Then, the IPv6 selector prefix verification falls in IPv4 switch case.
This results in not being able to provide prefix length of more than
32, even for IPv6 src/dst.

The above mentioned behaviour can easily be reproduced using below
command having IPv6 selector src/dst with greater than 32 prefix
length.
ip xfrm state add src 1.1.6.1 dst 1.1.6.2 proto esp spi 4260196 \
reqid 20004 mode tunnel aead "rfc4106(gcm(aes))" \
0x1111016400000000000000000000000044440001 128 \
sel src 1011:1:4::2/128 sel dst 1021:1:4::2/128 dev Port5

Please let me know, if I fail to explain my point or I am overlooking anything.

Thanks & Regards,
Anirudh
