[ Upstream commit 91edd096e224941131f896b86838b1e59553696a ]

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().

<title>net: compat: Ignore MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in compat_sys_{send, recv}msg</title>

[ Upstream commit d720d8cec563ce4e4fa44a613d4f2dcb1caf2998 ]

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).

Note that the code _using_ -&gt;msg_iter at that point will be very
unhappy with anything other than unshifted iovec-backed iov_iter.
We still need to convert users to proper primitives.

<title>separate kernel- and userland-side msghdr</title>

Kernel-side struct msghdr is (currently) using the same layout as
userland one, but it's not a one-to-one copy - even without considering
32bit compat issues, we have msg_iov, msg_name and msg_control copied
to kernel[1].  It's fairly localized, so we get away with a few functions
where that knowledge is needed (and we could shrink that set even
more).  Pretty much everything deals with the kernel-side variant and
the few places that want userland one just use a bunch of force-casts
to paper over the differences.

The thing is, kernel-side definition of struct msghdr is *not* exposed
in include/uapi - libc doesn't see it, etc.  So we can add struct user_msghdr,
with proper annotations and let the few places that ever deal with those
beasts use it for userland pointers.  Saner typechecking aside, that will
allow to change the layout of kernel-side msghdr - e.g. replace
msg_iov/msg_iovlen there with struct iov_iter, getting rid of the need
to modify the iovec as we copy data to/from it, etc.

We could introduce kernel_msghdr instead, but that would create much more
noise - the absolute majority of the instances would need to have the
type switched to kernel_msghdr and definition of struct msghdr in
include/linux/socket.h is not going to be seen by userland anyway.

This commit just introduces user_msghdr and switches the few places that
are dealing with userland-side msghdr to it.

[1] actually, it's even trickier than that - we copy msg_control for
sendmsg, but keep the userland address on recvmsg.

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.

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.

In order to allow the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macro generate code that
performs proper zero and sign extension convert all 64 bit parameters
to their corresponding 32 bit compat counterparts.

Convert all compat system call functions where all parameter types
have a size of four or less than four bytes, or are pointer types
to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE.
The implicit casts within COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE will perform proper
zero and sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters if needed.

<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.
