commit 988bf7243e03ef69238381594e0334a79cef74a6 upstream.

For the x32 ABI, struct timeval has two 64-bit fields. However
the kernel currently interprets the user-space values used for
the SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO socket options as having a pair
of 32-bit fields.

When the seconds portion of the requested timeout is less than 2**32,
the seconds portion of the effective timeout is correct but the
microseconds portion is zero.  When the seconds portion of the
requested timeout is zero and the microseconds portion is non-zero,
the kernel interprets the timeout as zero (never timeout).

Fix by using 64-bit time for SO_RCVTIMEO/SO_SNDTIMEO as required
for the ABI.

The code included below demonstrates the problem.

commit 91edd096e224941131f896b86838b1e59553696a upstream.

Commit db31c55a6fb2 (net: clamp -&gt;msg_namelen instead of returning an
error) introduced the clamping of msg_namelen when the unsigned value
was larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage). This caused a
msg_namelen of -1 to be valid. The native code was subsequently fixed by
commit dbb490b96584 (net: socket: error on a negative msg_namelen).

In addition, the native code sets msg_namelen to 0 when msg_name is
NULL. This was done in commit (6a2a2b3ae075 net:socket: set msg_namelen
to 0 if msg_name is passed as NULL in msghdr struct from userland) and
subsequently updated by 08adb7dabd48 (fold verify_iovec() into
copy_msghdr_from_user()).

This patch brings the get_compat_msghdr() in line with
copy_msghdr_from_user().

commit d720d8cec563ce4e4fa44a613d4f2dcb1caf2998 upstream.

With commit a7526eb5d06b (net: Unbreak compat_sys_{send,recv}msg), the
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag is blocked at the compat syscall entry points,
changing the kernel compat behaviour from the one before the commit it
was trying to fix (1be374a0518a, net: Block MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in
send(m)msg and recv(m)msg).

On 32-bit kernels (!CONFIG_COMPAT), MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is 0 and the native
32-bit sys_sendmsg() allows flag 0x80000000 to be set (it is ignored by
the kernel). However, on a 64-bit kernel, the compat ABI is different
with commit a7526eb5d06b.

This patch changes the compat_sys_{send,recv}msg behaviour to the one
prior to commit 1be374a0518a.

The problem was found running 32-bit LTP (sendmsg01) binary on an arm64
kernel. Arguably, LTP should not pass 0xffffffff as flags to sendmsg()
but the general rule is not to break user ABI (even when the user
behaviour is not entirely sane).

	&gt; [ 4448.988929] ==================================================================

This reports means that we've come to netlink_sendmsg() with msg-&gt;msg_name == NULL and msg-&gt;msg_namelen &gt; 0.

After this report there was no usual "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference"
and this gave me a clue that address 0 is mapped and contains valid socket address structure in it.

This bug was introduced in f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c
(net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic).
Commit message states that:
	"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."
But in fact this affects sendto when address 0 is mapped and contains
socket address structure in it. In such case copy-in address will succeed,
verify_iovec() function will successfully exit with msg-&gt;msg_namelen &gt; 0
and msg-&gt;msg_name == NULL.

This patch fixes it by setting msg_namelen to 0 if msg_name == NULL.

<title>x86, x32: Correct invalid use of user timespec in the kernel</title>

<id>2def2ef2ae5f3990aabdbe8a755911902707d268</id>
<content type='text'>
The x32 case for the recvmsg() timout handling is broken:

  asmlinkage long compat_sys_recvmmsg(int fd, struct compat_mmsghdr __user *mmsg,
                                      unsigned int vlen, unsigned int flags,
                                      struct compat_timespec __user *timeout)
  {
          int datagrams;
          struct timespec ktspec;

          if (flags &amp; MSG_CMSG_COMPAT)
                  return -EINVAL;

          if (COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME)
                  return __sys_recvmmsg(fd, (struct mmsghdr __user *)mmsg, vlen,
                                        flags | MSG_CMSG_COMPAT,
                                        (struct timespec *) timeout);
          ...

The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the __user
annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel pointer
and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly
dereference it for both reading and writing.  Other callers to
__sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first.

The bug was introduced by commit ee4fa23c4bfc ("compat: Use
COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/compat.c") and should affect all kernels
since 3.4 (and perhaps vendor kernels if they backported x32 support
along with this code).

Note that CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI gets enabled at build time and only if
CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled and ld can build x32 executables.

Other uses of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME seem fine.

This addresses CVE-2014-0038.

If kmsg-&gt;msg_namelen &gt; sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) then in the
original code that would lead to memory corruption in the kernel if you
had audit configured.  If you didn't have audit configured it was
harmless.

There are some programs such as beta versions of Ruby which use too

<title>net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic</title>

<id>f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

to the memcpy() in __audit_sockaddr().  It requires CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL to
exploit this bug.

The call tree is:
