net: add validation for the socket syscall protocol argument

2016-01-05T17:04:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 79462ad02e861803b3840cc782248c7359451cd9 ]

郭永刚 reported that one could simply crash the kernel as root by
using a simple program:

	int socket_fd;
	struct sockaddr_in addr;
	addr.sin_port = 0;
	addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
	addr.sin_family = 10;

	socket_fd = socket(10,3,0x40000000);
	connect(socket_fd , &addr,16);

AF_INET, AF_INET6 sockets actually only support 8-bit protocol
identifiers. inet_sock's skc_protocol field thus is sized accordingly,
thus larger protocol identifiers simply cut off the higher bits and
store a zero in the protocol fields.

This could lead to e.g. NULL function pointer because as a result of
the cut off inet_num is zero and we call down to inet_autobind, which
is NULL for raw sockets.

net: net_secret should not depend on TCP

2013-09-28T22:19:40+00:00

A host might need net_secret[] and never open a single socket.

Problem added in commit aebda156a570782

Based on prior patch from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

net: make snmp_mib_free static inline

2013-09-03T04:00:50+00:00

Fengguang reported:

   net/built-in.o: In function `in6_dev_finish_destroy':
   (.text+0x4ca7d): undefined reference to `snmp_mib_free'

this is due to snmp_mib_free() is defined when CONFIG_INET is enabled,
but in6_dev_finish_destroy() is now moved to core kernel.

I think snmp_mib_free() is small enough to be inlined, so just make it
static inline.

net: udp4: move GSO functions to udp_offload

2013-06-12T07:47:25+00:00

Similarly to TCP offloading and UDPv6 offloading, move all related
UDPv4 functions to udp_offload.c to make things more explicit. Also,
by this, we can make those functions static.

net: tcp: move GRO/GSO functions to tcp_offload

2013-06-07T21:39:05+00:00

Would be good to make things explicit and move those functions to
a new file called tcp_offload.c, thus make this similar to tcpv6_offload.c.
While moving all related functions into tcp_offload.c, we can also
make some of them static, since they are only used there. Also, add
an explicit registration function.

gro: should aggregate frames without DF

2013-05-31T23:25:56+00:00

GRO on IPv4 doesn't aggregate frames if they don't have DF bit set.

Some servers use IP_MTU_DISCOVER/IP_PMTUDISC_PROBE, so linux receivers
are unable to aggregate this kind of traffic.

The right thing to do is to allow aggregation as long as the DF bit has
same value on all segments.

bnx2x LRO does this correctly.

MPLS: Add limited GSO support

2013-05-28T05:50:59+00:00

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is
added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the
NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.

The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets
whose skbs are GSO.

SKB Usage:

When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do
the following to skb metadata:

* Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet.
  skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch.

* Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet.

* Set skb->network_header to correspond to the
  end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.

I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to
kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich.
That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls()
and was used to exercise this code.  The datapath patch is against the Open
vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code
present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point.

Features:

I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially
consistent with the handling of other protocols.  Jesse, I understand that
you have some ideas here.  I am more than happy to change my implementation.

This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices
to advertise features supported for MPLS packets.

A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support
hardware MPLS GSO offload.  Currently no devices support this
and MPLS GSO always falls back to software.

Alternate Implementation:

One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features()
and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their
understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need
for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to
__skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().

I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should
not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled
into the kernel or inserted as a module.

gre: Fix GREv4 TCPv6 segmentation.

2013-05-03T20:08:58+00:00

For ipv6 traffic, GRE can generate packet with strange GSO
bits, e.g. ipv4 packet with SKB_GSO_TCPV6 flag set.  Therefore
following patch relaxes check in inet gso handler to allow
such packet for segmentation.
This patch also fixes wrong skb->protocol set that was done in
gre_gso_segment() handler.

net: defer net_secret[] initialization

2013-04-29T19:14:02+00:00

Instead of feeding net_secret[] at boot time, defer the init
at the point first socket is created.

This permits some platforms to use better entropy sources than
the ones available at boot time.
