commit 657308f73e674e86b60509a430a46e569bf02846 upstream.

Similar to the ancient commit a5fe8e7695dc ("regulatory: add NUL
to alpha2"), add another byte to alpha2 in the request struct so
that when we use nla_put_string(), we don't overrun anything.

commit 9302d7bb0c5cd46be5706859301f18c137b2439f upstream.

sctp_v4_map_v6 was subtly writing and reading from members
of a union in a way the clobbered data it needed to read before
it read it.

Zeroing the v6 flowinfo overwrites the v4 sin_addr with 0, meaning
that every place that calls sctp_v4_map_v6 gets ::ffff:0.0.0.0 as the
result.

Reorder things to guarantee correct behaviour no matter what the
union layout is.

This impacts user space clients that open an IPv6 SCTP socket and
receive IPv4 connections. Prior to 299ee user space would see a
sockaddr with AF_INET and a correct address, after 299ee the sockaddr
is AF_INET6, but the address is wrong.

commit acf568ee859f098279eadf551612f103afdacb4e upstream.

This is an old bugbear of mine:

https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg03894.html

By crafting special packets, it is possible to cause recursion
in our kernel when processing transport-mode packets at levels
that are only limited by packet size.

The easiest one is with DNAT, but an even worse one is where
UDP encapsulation is used in which case you just have to insert
an UDP encapsulation header in between each level of recursion.

This patch avoids this problem by reinjecting tranport-mode packets
through a tasklet.

commit 299ee123e19889d511092347f5fc14db0f10e3a6 upstream.

The SCTP socket extensions API document describes the v4mapping option as
follows:

8.1.15.  Set/Clear IPv4 Mapped Addresses (SCTP_I_WANT_MAPPED_V4_ADDR)

   This socket option is a Boolean flag which turns on or off the
   mapping of IPv4 addresses.  If this option is turned on, then IPv4
   addresses will be mapped to V6 representation.  If this option is
   turned off, then no mapping will be done of V4 addresses and a user
   will receive both PF_INET6 and PF_INET type addresses on the socket.
   See [RFC3542] for more details on mapped V6 addresses.

This description isn't really in line with what the code does though.

Introduce addr_to_user (renamed addr_v4map), which should be called
before any sockaddr is passed back to user space. The new function
places the sockaddr into the correct format depending on the
SCTP_I_WANT_MAPPED_V4_ADDR option.

Audit all places that touched v4mapped and either sanely construct
a v4 or v6 address then call addr_to_user, or drop the
unnecessary v4mapped check entirely.

Audit all places that call addr_to_user and verify they are on a sycall
return path.

Add a custom getname that formats the address properly.

Several bugs are addressed:
 - SCTP_I_WANT_MAPPED_V4_ADDR=0 often returned garbage for
   addresses to user space
 - The addr_len returned from recvmsg was not correct when
   returning AF_INET on a v6 socket
 - flowlabel and scope_id were not zerod when promoting
   a v4 to v6
 - Some syscalls like bind and connect behaved differently
   depending on v4mapped

Tested bind, getpeername, getsockname, connect, and recvmsg for proper
behaviour in v4mapped = 1 and 0 cases.

commit b3916db32c4a3124eee9f3742a2f4723731d7602 upstream.

We need to verify that the given sockets actually are l2cap sockets. If
they aren't, we are not supposed to access bt_sk(sock) and we shouldn't
start the session if the offsets turn out to be valid local BT addresses.

That is, if someone passes a TCP socket to HIDCONNADD, then we access some
random offset in the TCP socket (which isn't even guaranteed to be valid).

Fix this by checking that the socket is an l2cap socket.

<title>tcp: fix tcp_mtu_probe() vs highest_sack</title>

commit 2b7cda9c35d3b940eb9ce74b30bbd5eb30db493d upstream.

Based on SNMP values provided by Roman, Yuchung made the observation
that some crashes in tcp_sacktag_walk() might be caused by MTU probing.

Looking at tcp_mtu_probe(), I found that when a new skb was placed
in front of the write queue, we were not updating tcp highest sack.

If one skb is freed because all its content was copied to the new skb
(for MTU probing), then tp-&gt;highest_sack could point to a now freed skb.

Bad things would then happen, including infinite loops.

This patch renames tcp_highest_sack_combine() and uses it
from tcp_mtu_probe() to fix the bug.

Note that I also removed one test against tp-&gt;sacked_out,
since we want to replace tp-&gt;highest_sack regardless of whatever
condition, since keeping a stale pointer to freed skb is a recipe
for disaster.

commit 4e587ea71bf924f7dac621f1351653bd41e446cb upstream.

Commit c5cff8561d2d adds rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node. This
generates a new sparse warning on rt-&gt;rt6i_node related code:
  net/ipv6/route.c:1394:30: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)
  ./include/net/ip6_fib.h:187:14: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)

This commit adds "__rcu" tag for rt6i_node and makes sure corresponding
rcu API is used for it.
After this fix, sparse no longer generates the above warning.

commit c5cff8561d2d0006e972bd114afd51f082fee77c upstream.

We currently keep rt-&gt;rt6i_node pointing to the fib6_node for the route.
And some functions make use of this pointer to dereference the fib6_node
from rt structure, e.g. rt6_check(). However, as there is neither
refcount nor rcu taken when dereferencing rt-&gt;rt6i_node, it could
potentially cause crashes as rt-&gt;rt6i_node could be set to NULL by other
CPUs when doing a route deletion.
This patch introduces an rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node and
makes sure the functions that dereference it takes rcu_read_lock().

Note: there is no "Fixes" tag because this bug was there in a very
early stage.
