The IPv6 Multicast Router Advertisements parsing has the following two
issues:
For one thing, ICMPv6 MRD Advertisements are smaller than ICMPv6 MLD
messages (ICMPv6 MRD Adv.: 8 bytes vs. ICMPv6 MLDv1/2: >= 24 bytes,
assuming MLDv2 Reports with at least one multicast address entry).
When ipv6_mc_check_mld_msg() tries to parse an Multicast Router
Advertisement its MLD length check will fail - and it will wrongly
return -EINVAL, even if we have a valid MRD Advertisement. With the
returned -EINVAL the bridge code will assume a broken packet and will
wrongly discard it, potentially leading to multicast packet loss towards
multicast routers.
The second issue is the MRD header parsing in
br_ip6_multicast_mrd_rcv(): It wrongly checks for an ICMPv6 header
immediately after the IPv6 header (IPv6 next header type). However
according to RFC4286, section 2 all MRD messages contain a Router Alert
option (just like MLD). So instead there is an IPv6 Hop-by-Hop option
for the Router Alert between the IPv6 and ICMPv6 header, again leading
to the bridge wrongly discarding Multicast Router Advertisements.
To fix these two issues, introduce a new return value -ENODATA to
ipv6_mc_check_mld() to indicate a valid ICMPv6 packet with a hop-by-hop
option which is not an MLD but potentially an MRD packet. This also
simplifies further parsing in the bridge code, as ipv6_mc_check_mld()
already fully checks the ICMPv6 header and hop-by-hop option.
These issues were found and fixed with the help of the mrdisc tool
(https://github.com/troglobit/mrdisc).
