From 48ed7b26faa758e6612cd1fb11c07f25cd54f771 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Thu, 21 May 2015 00:25:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: reject locally assigned nexthop addresses ip -6 addr add dead::1/128 dev eth0 sleep 5 ip -6 route add default via dead::1/128 -> fails ip -6 addr add dead::1/128 dev eth0 ip -6 route add default via dead::1/128 -> succeeds reason is that if (nonsensensical) route above is added, dead::1 is still subject to DAD, so the route lookup will pick eth0 as outdev due to the prefix route that is added before DAD work is started. Add explicit test that checks if nexthop gateway is a local address.
