[Openvpn-devel,net,v2,1/5] ovpn: preserve IPv6 scope id for netlink peer endpoints

Series ovpn: fix UDP route cache and endpoint handling |

Commit Message

Ralf Lici July 29, 2026, 7:20 a.m. UTC 
  ovpn accepts OVPN_A_PEER_REMOTE_IPV6_SCOPE_ID and reports
bind->remote.in6.sin6_scope_id in peer dumps, but the netlink endpoint
parser never copied the attribute into the sockaddr_in6 used to create or
update the peer bind.

As a result, an IPv6 link-local remote endpoint configured through
netlink loses its interface scope, unlike on the peer float path where
ipv6_iface_scope_id populates the field. The UDPv6 output path then
builds a flow with flowi6_oif set to zero and route lookup can fail or
select the wrong interface.

Copy the scope id when parsing non-v4-mapped IPv6 remote endpoints. The
existing precheck already rejects the scope-id attribute for IPv4 and
v4-mapped IPv6 remotes.

Fixes: 1d36a36f6d53 ("ovpn: implement peer add/get/dump/delete via netlink")
