netfilter: nf_ct_ipv4: packets with wrong ihl are invalid

2012-04-10T10:50:49+00:00

It was reported that the Linux kernel sometimes logs:

klogd: [2629147.402413] kernel BUG at net / netfilter /
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 447!
klogd: [1072212.887368] kernel BUG at net / netfilter /
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 392

ipv4_get_l4proto() in nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4.c and tcp_error() in
nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c should catch malformed packets, so the errors
at the indicated lines - TCP options parsing - should not happen.
However, tcp_error() relies on the "dataoff" offset to the TCP header,
calculated by ipv4_get_l4proto().  But ipv4_get_l4proto() does not check
bogus ihl values in IPv4 packets, which then can slip through tcp_error()
and get caught at the TCP options parsing routines.

The patch fixes ipv4_get_l4proto() by invalidating packets with bogus
ihl value.

The patch closes netfilter bugzilla id 771.

netfilter: nf_ct_ipv4: handle invalid IPv4 and IPv6 packets consistently

2012-04-09T22:38:34+00:00

IPv6 conntrack marked invalid packets as INVALID and let the user
drop those by an explicit rule, while IPv4 conntrack dropped such
packets itself.

IPv4 conntrack is changed so that it marks INVALID packets and let
the user to drop them.

netfilter: remove forward module param confusion.

2012-03-23T02:36:17+00:00

It used to be an int, and it got changed to a bool parameter at least
7 years ago.  It happens that NF_ACCEPT and NF_DROP are 0 and 1, so
this works, but it's unclear, and the check that it's in range is not
required.

netfilter: add cttimeout infrastructure for fine timeout tuning

2012-03-07T16:41:22+00:00

This patch adds the infrastructure to add fine timeout tuning
over nfnetlink. Now you can use the NFNL_SUBSYS_CTNETLINK_TIMEOUT
subsystem to create/delete/dump timeout objects that contain some
specific timeout policy for one flow.

The follow up patches will allow you attach timeout policy object
to conntrack via the CT target and the conntrack extension
infrastructure.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: pass timeout array to l4->new and l4->packet

2012-03-07T16:41:19+00:00

This patch defines a new interface for l4 protocol trackers:

unsigned int *(*get_timeouts)(struct net *net);

that is used to return the array of unsigned int that contains
the timeouts that will be applied for this flow. This is passed
to the l4proto->new(...) and l4proto->packet(...) functions to
specify the timeout policy.

This interface allows per-net global timeout configuration
(although only DCCP supports this by now) and it will allow
custom custom timeout configuration by means of follow-up
patches.

netfilter: merge ipt_LOG and ip6_LOG into xt_LOG

2012-03-07T16:40:49+00:00

ipt_LOG and ip6_LOG have a lot of common code, merge them
to reduce duplicate code.

netfilter: ctnetlink: allow to set expectfn for expectations

2012-03-07T16:40:46+00:00

This patch allows you to set expectfn which is specifically used
by the NAT side of most of the existing conntrack helpers.

I have added a symbol map that uses a string as key to look up for
the function that is attached to the expectation object. This is
the best solution I came out with to solve this issue.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://selinuxproject.org/~jmorris/linux-security

2012-01-15T02:36:33+00:00

* 'for-linus' of git://selinuxproject.org/~jmorris/linux-security:
  capabilities: remove __cap_full_set definition
  security: remove the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()
  ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/stat
  capabilities: remove task_ns_* functions
  capabitlies: ns_capable can use the cap helpers rather than lsm call
  capabilities: style only - move capable below ns_capable
  capabilites: introduce new has_ns_capabilities_noaudit
  capabilities: call has_ns_capability from has_capability
  capabilities: remove all _real_ interfaces
  capabilities: introduce security_capable_noaudit
  capabilities: reverse arguments to security_capable
  capabilities: remove the task from capable LSM hook entirely
  selinux: sparse fix: fix several warnings in the security server cod
  selinux: sparse fix: fix warnings in netlink code
  selinux: sparse fix: eliminate warnings for selinuxfs
  selinux: sparse fix: declare selinux_disable() in security.h
  selinux: sparse fix: move selinux_complete_init
  selinux: sparse fix: make selinux_secmark_refcount static
  SELinux: Fix RCU deref check warning in sel_netport_insert()

Manually fix up a semantic mis-merge wrt security_netlink_recv():

 - the interface was removed in commit fd7784615248 ("security: remove
   the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()")

 - a new user of it appeared in commit a38f7907b926 ("crypto: Add
   userspace configuration API")

causing no automatic merge conflict, but Eric Paris pointed out the
issue.

security: remove the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()

2012-01-05T23:53:01+00:00

Once upon a time netlink was not sync and we had to get the effective
capabilities from the skb that was being received.  Today we instead get
the capabilities from the current task.  This has rendered the entire
purpose of the hook moot as it is now functionally equivalent to the
capable() call.
