commit ee576c47db60432c37e54b1e2b43a8ca6d3a8dca upstream.

The icmp{,v6}_send functions make all sorts of use of skb-&gt;cb, casting
it with IPCB or IP6CB, assuming the skb to have come directly from the
inet layer. But when the packet comes from the ndo layer, especially
when forwarded, there's no telling what might be in skb-&gt;cb at that
point. As a result, the icmp sending code risks reading bogus memory
contents, which can result in nasty stack overflows such as this one
reported by a user:

    panic+0x108/0x2ea
    __stack_chk_fail+0x14/0x20
    __icmp_send+0x5bd/0x5c0
    icmp_ndo_send+0x148/0x160

In icmp_send, skb-&gt;cb is cast with IPCB and an ip_options struct is read
from it. The optlen parameter there is of particular note, as it can
induce writes beyond bounds. There are quite a few ways that can happen
in __ip_options_echo. For example:

    // sptr/skb are attacker-controlled skb bytes
    sptr = skb_network_header(skb);
    // dptr/dopt points to stack memory allocated by __icmp_send
    dptr = dopt-&gt;__data;
    // sopt is the corrupt skb-&gt;cb in question
    if (sopt-&gt;rr) {
        optlen  = sptr[sopt-&gt;rr+1]; // corrupt skb-&gt;cb + skb-&gt;data
        soffset = sptr[sopt-&gt;rr+2]; // corrupt skb-&gt;cb + skb-&gt;data
	// this now writes potentially attacker-controlled data, over
	// flowing the stack:
        memcpy(dptr, sptr+sopt-&gt;rr, optlen);
    }

In the icmpv6_send case, the story is similar, but not as dire, as only
IP6CB(skb)-&gt;iif and IP6CB(skb)-&gt;dsthao are used. The dsthao case is
worse than the iif case, but it is passed to ipv6_find_tlv, which does
a bit of bounds checking on the value.

This is easy to simulate by doing a `memset(skb-&gt;cb, 0x41,
sizeof(skb-&gt;cb));` before calling icmp{,v6}_ndo_send, and it's only by
good fortune and the rarity of icmp sending from that context that we've
avoided reports like this until now. For example, in KASAN:

    BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in __ip_options_echo+0xa0e/0x12b0
    Write of size 38 at addr ffff888006f1f80e by task ping/89
    CPU: 2 PID: 89 Comm: ping Not tainted 5.10.0-rc7-debug+ #5
    Call Trace:
     dump_stack+0x9a/0xcc
     print_address_description.constprop.0+0x1a/0x160
     __kasan_report.cold+0x20/0x38
     kasan_report+0x32/0x40
     check_memory_region+0x145/0x1a0
     memcpy+0x39/0x60
     __ip_options_echo+0xa0e/0x12b0
     __icmp_send+0x744/0x1700

Actually, out of the 4 drivers that do this, only gtp zeroed the cb for
the v4 case, while the rest did not. So this commit actually removes the
gtp-specific zeroing, while putting the code where it belongs in the
shared infrastructure of icmp{,v6}_ndo_send.

This commit fixes the issue by passing an empty IPCB or IP6CB along to
the functions that actually do the work. For the icmp_send, this was
already trivial, thanks to __icmp_send providing the plumbing function.
For icmpv6_send, this required a tiny bit of refactoring to make it
behave like the v4 case, after which it was straight forward.

commit a8e41f6033a0c5633d55d6e35993c9e2005d872f upstream.

The icmpv6_send function has long had a static inline implementation
with an empty body for CONFIG_IPV6=n, so that code calling it doesn't
need to be ifdef'd. The new icmpv6_ndo_send function, which is intended
for drivers as a drop-in replacement with an identical function
signature, should follow the same pattern. Without this patch, drivers
that used to work with CONFIG_IPV6=n now result in a linker error.

commit 0b41713b606694257b90d61ba7e2712d8457648b upstream.

This introduces a helper function to be called only by network drivers
that wraps calls to icmp[v6]_send in a conntrack transformation, in case
NAT has been used. We don't want to pollute the non-driver path, though,
so we introduce this as a helper to be called by places that actually
make use of this, as suggested by Florian.

<title>ipv6: RFC 4884 partial support for SIT/GRE tunnels</title>

<content type='text'>
When receiving an ICMPv4 message containing extensions as
defined in RFC 4884, and translating it to ICMPv6 at SIT
or GRE tunnel, we need some extra manipulation in order
to properly forward the extensions.

This patch only takes care of Time Exceeded messages as they
are the ones that typically carry information from various
routers in a fabric during a traceroute session.

It also avoids complex skb logic if the data_len is not
a multiple of 8.

RFC states :

   The "original datagram" field MUST contain at least 128 octets.
   If the original datagram did not contain 128 octets, the
   "original datagram" field MUST be zero padded to 128 octets.

In practice routers use 128 bytes of original datagram, not more.

Initial translation was added in commit ca15a078bd90
("sit: generate icmpv6 error when receiving icmpv4 error")

We want to use this helper from GRE as well, so this is
the time to move it in net/ipv6/icmp.c

Also add a @nhs parameter, since SIT and GRE have different
values for the header(s) to skip.

SIT or GRE tunnels might want to translate an IPV4 address
into a v4mapped one when translating ICMP to ICMPv6.

This patch adds the parameter to icmp6_send() but
does not change icmpv6_send() signature.

Following patch adds icmp-registration module for ipv6.  It allows
ipv6 protocol to register icmp_sender which is used for sending
ipv6 icmp msgs.  This extra layer allows us to kill ipv6 dependency
for sending icmp packets.

This patch also fixes ip_tunnel compilation problem when ip_tunnel
is statically compiled in kernel but ipv6 is module
