SubjectRE: ping -R causes kernel panic on a forwarding machine ( 2.2.5 a nd 2 .2.10)
Date

Correction :

this happens only when going through the NAt code.

I just tested and only time when it crashes is when one of the ends is in
NAT
( i haven tested with both endss in NAT but thats rare to find anyways )

so to resume:

kernel 2.2.10
ip utility
ipchains
one of the networks is NAT-ed

ping -R a NAT ed ip from a real ip ( it has to go through the fw )
or ping -R a real ip from a NATed one
fw has to be below hop 9 on this road otherwise it doesnt work.

Result : complete kernel panic


my ip nat rules are rather simple .
so i belive anyone should be able to reproduce the problem.



comments ?
fixes ?

hello ,

i belive this is an old problem since this is not the first time i heard
about it.

ping ing with ping -R from through a firewall machine make the firewall go
into kernel panic
tried to kill idle task
not syncing

etc. etc.

does anyone know a fix for the problem ?

or a set of rules that will fix the problem ?

i believe ping -R works only on about nine hops... what bothers me
is that nine hops can be a lot of subnets :(


Thanks for any help
