NetBSD nebeda 10.1_STABLE NetBSD 10.1_STABLE (GENERIC) #0: Thu Mar 19 00:17:47 GMT 2026 alnsn@nebeda:/scratch/alnsn/netbsd-usrsrc/obj/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC
>Description:
Kernel compiled with MROUTING crashes in reset_vif -> encap_detach when I stop mrouted. It's a simple NULL-pointer dereference.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Compile GENERIC wtih MROUTING
2. Setup two network interfaces with multicast enabled
3. Run 'service mrouted onestart'
4. Run 'service mrouted onestop'
5. Boom!
>Fix:
This fix seems to fix the issue but I'm not familiar with those protocols to commit it myself without a review:
if (vifp->v_flags & VIFF_TUNNEL) {
/* detach this vif from decapsulator dispatch table */
encap_lock_enter();
encap_detach(vifp->v_encap_cookie);
encap_lock_exit();
vifp->v_encap_cookie = NULL;
}
