From 0aa8c13eb512823bc4d60397d666a6b6260bb965 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2017 20:22:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: drop non loopback packets claiming to originate from ::1 We lack a saddr check for ::1. This causes security issues e.g. with acls permitting connections from ::1 because of assumption that these originate from local machine. Assuming a source address of ::1 is local seems reasonable. RFC4291 doesn't allow such a source address either, so drop such packets.
