commit 4ab42d78e37a294ac7bc56901d563c642e03c4ae upstream.

Currently slhc_init() treats out-of-range values of rslots and tslots
as equivalent to 0, except that if tslots is too large it will
dereference a null pointer (CVE-2015-7799).

Add a range-check at the top of the function and make it return an
ERR_PTR() on error instead of NULL.  Change the callers accordingly.

Compile-tested only.

commit 24dff96a37a2ca319e75a74d3929b2de22447ca6 upstream.

we used to check for "nobody else could start doing anything with
that opened file" by checking that refcount was 2 or less - one
for descriptor table and one we'd acquired in fget() on the way to
wherever we are.  That was race-prone (somebody else might have
had a reference to descriptor table and do fget() just as we'd
been checking) and it had become flat-out incorrect back when
we switched to fget_light() on those codepaths - unlike fget(),
it doesn't grab an extra reference unless the descriptor table
is shared.  The same change allowed a race-free check, though -
we are safe exactly when refcount is less than 2.

It was a long time ago; pre-2.6.12 for ioctl() (the codepath leading
to ppp one) and 2.6.17 for sendmsg() (netlink one).  OTOH,
netlink hadn't grown that check until 3.9 and ppp used to live
in drivers/net, not drivers/net/ppp until 3.1.  The bug existed
well before that, though, and the same fix used to apply in old
location of file.

[ Upstream commit 73f156a6e8c1074ac6327e0abd1169e95eb66463 ]

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.

linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.

1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes

2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
   with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.

3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
   is about 20.

4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
   not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
   the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())

5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.

IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'

Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.

We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.

ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)

secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.

Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

<title>net: pppoe: use correct channel MTU when using Multilink PPP</title>

[ Upstream commit a8a3e41c67d24eb12f9ab9680cbb85e24fcd9711 ]

The PPP channel MTU is used with Multilink PPP when ppp_mp_explode() (see
ppp_generic module) tries to determine how big a fragment might be. According
to RFC 1661, the MTU excludes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, see the
corresponding comment and code in ppp_mp_explode():

		/*
		 * hdrlen includes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, but the
		 * MTU counts only the payload excluding the protocol field.
		 * (RFC1661 Section 2)
		 */
		mtu = pch-&gt;chan-&gt;mtu - (hdrlen - 2);

However, the pppoe module *does* include the PPP protocol field in the channel
MTU, which is wrong as it causes the PPP payload to be 1-2 bytes too big under
certain circumstances (one byte if PPP protocol compression is used, two
otherwise), causing the generated Ethernet packets to be dropped. So the pppoe
module has to subtract two bytes from the channel MTU. This error only
manifests itself when using Multilink PPP, as otherwise the channel MTU is not
used anywhere.

In the following, I will describe how to reproduce this bug. We configure two
pppd instances for multilink PPP over two PPPoE links, say eth2 and eth3, with
a MTU of 1492 bytes for each link and a MRRU of 2976 bytes. (This MRRU is
computed by adding the two link MTUs and subtracting the MP header twice, which
is 4 bytes long.) The necessary pppd statements on both sides are "multilink
mtu 1492 mru 1492 mrru 2976". On the client side, we additionally need "plugin
rp-pppoe.so eth2" and "plugin rp-pppoe.so eth3", respectively; on the server
side, we additionally need to start two pppoe-server instances to be able to
establish two PPPoE sessions, one over eth2 and one over eth3. We set the MTU
of the PPP network interface to the MRRU (2976) on both sides of the connection
in order to make use of the higher bandwidth. (If we didn't do that, IP
fragmentation would kick in, which we want to avoid.)

Now we send a ICMPv4 echo request with a payload of 2948 bytes from client to
server over the PPP link. This results in the following network packet:

   2948 (echo payload)
 +    8 (ICMPv4 header)
 +   20 (IPv4 header)
---------------------
   2976 (PPP payload)

These 2976 bytes do not exceed the MTU of the PPP network interface, so the
IP packet is not fragmented. Now the multilink PPP code in ppp_mp_explode()
prepends one protocol byte (0x21 for IPv4), making the packet one byte bigger
than the negotiated MRRU. So this packet would have to be divided in three
fragments. But this does not happen as each link MTU is assumed to be two bytes
larger. So this packet is diveded into two fragments only, one of size 1489 and
one of size 1488. Now we have for that bigger fragment:

   1489 (PPP payload)
 +    4 (MP header)
 +    2 (PPP protocol field for the MP payload (0x3d))
 +    6 (PPPoE header)
--------------------------
   1501 (Ethernet payload)

This packet exceeds the link MTU and is discarded.

If one configures the link MTU on the client side to 1501, one can see the
discarded Ethernet frames with tcpdump running on the client. A

ping -s 2948 -c 1 192.168.15.254

leads to the smaller fragment that is correctly received on the server side:

(tcpdump -vvvne -i eth3 pppoes and ppp proto 0x3d)
52:54:00:ad:87:fd &gt; 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
  length 1514: PPPoE  [ses 0x3] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000,
  Flags [end], length 1492

and to the bigger fragment that is not received on the server side:

(tcpdump -vvvne -i eth2 pppoes and ppp proto 0x3d)
52:54:00:70:9e:89 &gt; 52:54:00:5d:6f:b0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
  length 1515: PPPoE  [ses 0x5] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1495: seq 0x000,
  Flags [begin], length 1493

With the patch below, we correctly obtain three fragments:

52:54:00:ad:87:fd &gt; 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
  length 1514: PPPoE  [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000,
  Flags [begin], length 1492
52:54:00:70:9e:89 &gt; 52:54:00:5d:6f:b0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
  length 1514: PPPoE  [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000,
  Flags [none], length 1492
52:54:00:ad:87:fd &gt; 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
  length 27: PPPoE  [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 7: seq 0x000,
  Flags [end], length 5

And the ICMPv4 echo request is successfully received at the server side:

IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 21925, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1),
  length 2976)
    192.168.222.2 &gt; 192.168.15.254: ICMP echo request, id 30530, seq 0,
      length 2956

The bug was introduced in commit c9aa6895371b2a257401f59d3393c9f7ac5a8698
("[PPPOE]: Advertise PPPoE MTU") from the very beginning. This patch applies
to 3.10 upwards but the fix can be applied (with minor modifications) to
kernels as old as 2.6.32.

[ Upstream commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c ]

This patch now always passes msg-&gt;msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size &lt;= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.

This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.

Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.

Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.

Changes since RFC:

Set msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.

With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen == 0)
	msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL
".

This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.

Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

<title>ip: generate unique IP identificator if local fragmentation is allowed</title>

[ Upstream commit 703133de331a7a7df47f31fb9de51dc6f68a9de8 ]

If local fragmentation is allowed, then ip_select_ident() and
ip_select_ident_more() need to generate unique IDs to ensure
correct defragmentation on the peer.

For example, if IPsec (tunnel mode) has to encrypt large skbs
that have local_df bit set, then all IP fragments that belonged
to different ESP datagrams would have used the same identificator.
If one of these IP fragments would get lost or reordered, then
peer could possibly stitch together wrong IP fragments that did
not belong to the same datagram. This would lead to a packet loss
or data corruption.

[ Upstream commit 2b018d57ff18e5405823e5cb59651a5b4d946d7b ]

When PPPOE is running over a virtual ethernet interface (e.g., a
bonding interface) and the user tries to delete the interface in case
the PPPOE state is ZOMBIE, the kernel will loop forever while
unregistering net_device for the reference count is not decreased to
zero which should have been done with dev_put().

pptp always use init_net as the net namespace to lookup
route, this will cause route lookup failed in container.

because we already set the correct net namespace to struct
sock in pptp_create,so fix this by using sock_net(sk) to
replace &amp;init_net.

<title>ppp: Fix race condition with queue start/stop</title>

Commit e675f0cc9a872fd152edc0c77acfed19bf28b81e ("ppp: Don't stop and
restart queue on every TX packet") introduced a race condition which
could leave the net queue stopped even when the channel is no longer
busy. By calling netif_stop_queue() from ppp_start_xmit(), based on the
return value from ppp_xmit_process() but *after* all the locks have been
dropped, we could potentially do so *after* the channel has actually
finished transmitting and attempted to re-wake the queue.

Fix this by moving the netif_stop_queue() into ppp_xmit_process() under
the xmit lock. I hadn't done this previously, because it gets called
from other places than ppp_start_xmit(). But I now think it's the better
option. The net queue *should* be stopped if the channel becomes
congested due to writes from pppd, anyway.
