When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called which initializes it. If bpf_redirect_neigh() is called with explicit AF_INET6 nexthop parameters, __bpf_redirect_neigh_v6() can skip the IPv6 FIB lookup and call bpf_out_neigh_v6() directly. bpf_out_neigh_v6() then calls ip_neigh_gw6(), which uses ipv6_stub->nd_tbl. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000248 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:skb_do_redirect+0x44f/0xf40 Call Trace: ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 ? __tcf_classify.constprop.0+0x83/0x160 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 ? tcf_classify+0x2b/0x50 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 ? tc_run+0xb8/0x120 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 __dev_queue_xmit+0x6fa/0x1000 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 packet_sendmsg+0x10da/0x1700 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 __sys_sendto+0x1f3/0x220 __x64_sys_sendto+0x24/0x30 do_syscall_64+0x101/0xf80 ? exc_page_fault+0x6e/0x170 ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Fix this by adding an early check in bpf_out_neigh_v6(). If ipv6_stub->nd_tbl is NULL, drop the packet before neighbor lookup.
