When enabling support for XFRM lookup using reverse ICMP payload, we have identified an issue where the source address of the IPv4, e.g., "Destination Host Unreachable" message, is incorrect. The error message received by the sender appears to originate from a non-existing/unreachable host. IPv6 seems to behave correctly; respond with an existing source address from the gateway.
Here is example of incorrect source address for ICMP error response. When sending a ping to an unreachable host, the sender would receive an ICMP unreachable response with a fake source address. Rather the address of the host that generated ICMP Unreachable message. This is confusing and incorrect. A fllow up commit adds this example as a test case.
Example: ping -W 9 -w 5 -c 1 10.1.4.3 PING 10.1.4.3 (10.1.4.3) 56(84) bytes of data. From 10.1.4.3 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
Notice : packet has the source address of the ICMP "Unreachable host!"
This issue can be traced back to commit 415b3334a21a ("icmp: Fix regression in nexthop resolution during replies.") which introduced a change that copied the source address from the ICMP payload.
This commit would force to use source address from the gatway/host. The ICMP error message source address correctly set from the host.
After fixing: ping -W 5 -c 1 10.1.4.3 PING 10.1.4.3 (10.1.4.3) 56(84) bytes of data. From 10.1.3.2 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
Here is an snippt to reporduce the issue.
