commit 1b789577f655060d98d20ed0c6f9fbd469d6ba63 upstream.

We get crash when the targets checkentry function tries to make
use of the network namespace pointer for arptables.

When the net pointer got added back in 2010, only ip/ip6/ebtables were
changed to initialize it, so arptables has this set to NULL.

This isn't a problem for normal arptables because no existing
arptables target has a checkentry function that makes use of par-&gt;net.

However, direct users of the setsockopt interface can provide any
target they want as long as its registered for ARP or UNPSEC protocols.

syzkaller managed to send a semi-valid arptables rule for RATEEST target
which is enough to trigger NULL deref:

<title>tcp: fix "old stuff" D-SACK causing SACK to be treated as D-SACK</title>

[ Upstream commit c9655008e7845bcfdaac10a1ed8554ec167aea88 ]

When we receive a D-SACK, where the sequence number satisfies:
	undo_marker &lt;= start_seq &lt; end_seq &lt;= prior_snd_una
we consider this is a valid D-SACK and tcp_is_sackblock_valid()
returns true, then this D-SACK is discarded as "old stuff",
but the variable first_sack_index is not marked as negative
in tcp_sacktag_write_queue().

If this D-SACK also carries a SACK that needs to be processed
(for example, the previous SACK segment was lost), this SACK
will be treated as a D-SACK in the following processing of
tcp_sacktag_write_queue(), which will eventually lead to
incorrect updates of undo_retrans and reordering.

<title>tcp: do not send empty skb from tcp_write_xmit()</title>

[ Upstream commit 1f85e6267caca44b30c54711652b0726fadbb131 ]

Backport of commit fdfc5c8594c2 ("tcp: remove empty skb from
write queue in error cases") in linux-4.14 stable triggered
various bugs. One of them has been fixed in commit ba2ddb43f270
("tcp: Don't dequeue SYN/FIN-segments from write-queue"), but
we still have crashes in some occasions.

Root-cause is that when tcp_sendmsg() has allocated a fresh
skb and could not append a fragment before being blocked
in sk_stream_wait_memory(), tcp_write_xmit() might be called
and decide to send this fresh and empty skb.

Sending an empty packet is not only silly, it might have caused
many issues we had in the past with tp-&gt;packets_out being
out of sync.

commit bbab7ef235031f6733b5429ae7877bfa22339712 upstream.

This code reads two global variables without protection
of a lock. We need READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairs to
avoid load/store-tearing and better document the intent.

[ Upstream commit 501a90c945103e8627406763dac418f20f3837b2 ]

syzbot was once again able to crash a host by setting a very small mtu
on loopback device.

Let's make inetdev_valid_mtu() available in include/net/ip.h,
and use it in ip_setup_cork(), so that we protect both ip_append_page()
and __ip_append_data()

Also add a READ_ONCE() when the device mtu is read.

Pairs this lockless read with one WRITE_ONCE() in __dev_set_mtu(),
even if other code paths might write over this field.

Add a big comment in include/linux/netdevice.h about dev-&gt;mtu
needing READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations.

[ Upstream commit 501a90c945103e8627406763dac418f20f3837b2 ]

syzbot was once again able to crash a host by setting a very small mtu
on loopback device.

Let's make inetdev_valid_mtu() available in include/net/ip.h,
and use it in ip_setup_cork(), so that we protect both ip_append_page()
and __ip_append_data()

Also add a READ_ONCE() when the device mtu is read.

Pairs this lockless read with one WRITE_ONCE() in __dev_set_mtu(),
even if other code paths might write over this field.

Add a big comment in include/linux/netdevice.h about dev-&gt;mtu
needing READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations.

Hopefully we will add the missing ones in followup patches.

[ Upstream commit 9424e2e7ad93ffffa88f882c9bc5023570904b55 ]

Back in 2008, Adam Langley fixed the corner case of packets for flows
having all of the following options : MD5 TS SACK

Since MD5 needs 20 bytes, and TS needs 12 bytes, no sack block
can be cooked from the remaining 8 bytes.

tcp_established_options() correctly sets opts-&gt;num_sack_blocks
to zero, but returns 36 instead of 32.

This means TCP cooks packets with 4 extra bytes at the end
of options, containing unitialized bytes.

[ Upstream commit a904a0693c189691eeee64f6c6b188bd7dc244e9 ]

Historically linux tried to stick to RFC 791, 1122, 2003
for IPv4 ID field generation.

RFC 6864 made clear that no matter how hard we try,
we can not ensure unicity of IP ID within maximum
lifetime for all datagrams with a given source
address/destination address/protocol tuple.

Linux uses a per socket inet generator (inet_id), initialized
at connection startup with a XOR of 'jiffies' and other
fields that appear clear on the wire.

Thiemo Nagel pointed that this strategy is a privacy
concern as this provides 16 bits of entropy to fingerprint
devices.

Let's switch to a random starting point, this is just as
good as far as RFC 6864 is concerned and does not leak
anything critical.

[ Upstream commit 595e0651d0296bad2491a4a29a7a43eae6328b02 ]

...instead of -EINVAL. An issue was found with older kernel versions
while unplugging a NFS client with pending RPCs, and the wrong error
code here prevented it from recovering once link is back up with a
configured address.

Incidentally, this is not an issue anymore since commit 4f8943f80883
("SUNRPC: Replace direct task wakeups from softirq context"), included
in 5.2-rc7, had the effect of decoupling the forwarding of this error
by using SO_ERROR in xs_wake_error(), as pointed out by Benjamin
Coddington.

To the best of my knowledge, this isn't currently causing any further
issue, but the error code doesn't look appropriate anyway, and we
might hit this in other paths as well.

In detail, as analysed by Gonzalo Siero, once the route is deleted
because the interface is down, and can't be resolved and we return
-EINVAL here, this ends up, courtesy of inet_sk_rebuild_header(),
as the socket error seen by tcp_write_err(), called by
tcp_retransmit_timer().

In turn, tcp_write_err() indirectly calls xs_error_report(), which
wakes up the RPC pending tasks with a status of -EINVAL. This is then
seen by call_status() in the SUN RPC implementation, which aborts the
RPC call calling rpc_exit(), instead of handling this as a
potentially temporary condition, i.e. as a timeout.

Return -EINVAL only if the input parameters passed to
ip_route_output_key_hash_rcu() are actually invalid (this is the case
if the specified source address is multicast, limited broadcast or
all zeroes), but return -ENETUNREACH in all cases where, at the given
moment, the given source address doesn't allow resolving the route.

While at it, drop the initialisation of err to -ENETUNREACH, which
was added to __ip_route_output_key() back then by commit
0315e3827048 ("net: Fix behaviour of unreachable, blackhole and
prohibit routes"), but actually had no effect, as it was, and is,
overwritten by the fib_lookup() return code assignment, and anyway
ignored in all other branches, including the if (fl4-&gt;saddr) one:
I find this rather confusing, as it would look like -ENETUNREACH is
the "default" error, while that statement has no effect.

Also note that after commit fc75fc8339e7 ("ipv4: dont create routes
on down devices"), we would get -ENETUNREACH if the device is down,
but -EINVAL if the source address is specified and we can't resolve
the route, and this appears to be rather inconsistent.

[ Upstream commit 595e0651d0296bad2491a4a29a7a43eae6328b02 ]

...instead of -EINVAL. An issue was found with older kernel versions
while unplugging a NFS client with pending RPCs, and the wrong error
code here prevented it from recovering once link is back up with a
configured address.

Incidentally, this is not an issue anymore since commit 4f8943f80883
("SUNRPC: Replace direct task wakeups from softirq context"), included
in 5.2-rc7, had the effect of decoupling the forwarding of this error
by using SO_ERROR in xs_wake_error(), as pointed out by Benjamin
Coddington.

To the best of my knowledge, this isn't currently causing any further
issue, but the error code doesn't look appropriate anyway, and we
might hit this in other paths as well.

In detail, as analysed by Gonzalo Siero, once the route is deleted
because the interface is down, and can't be resolved and we return
-EINVAL here, this ends up, courtesy of inet_sk_rebuild_header(),
as the socket error seen by tcp_write_err(), called by
tcp_retransmit_timer().

In turn, tcp_write_err() indirectly calls xs_error_report(), which
wakes up the RPC pending tasks with a status of -EINVAL. This is then
seen by call_status() in the SUN RPC implementation, which aborts the
RPC call calling rpc_exit(), instead of handling this as a
potentially temporary condition, i.e. as a timeout.

Return -EINVAL only if the input parameters passed to
ip_route_output_key_hash_rcu() are actually invalid (this is the case
if the specified source address is multicast, limited broadcast or
all zeroes), but return -ENETUNREACH in all cases where, at the given

<title>net: ipv4: avoid mixed n_redirects and rate_tokens usage</title>

[ Upstream commit b406472b5ad79ede8d10077f0c8f05505ace8b6d ]

Since commit c09551c6ff7f ("net: ipv4: use a dedicated counter
for icmp_v4 redirect packets") we use 'n_redirects' to account
for redirect packets, but we still use 'rate_tokens' to compute
the redirect packets exponential backoff.

If the device sent to the relevant peer any ICMP error packet
after sending a redirect, it will also update 'rate_token' according
to the leaking bucket schema; typically 'rate_token' will raise
above BITS_PER_LONG and the redirect packets backoff algorithm
will produce undefined behavior.

Fix the issue using 'n_redirects' to compute the exponential backoff
in ip_rt_send_redirect().

Note that we still clear rate_tokens after a redirect silence period,
to avoid changing an established behaviour.

The root cause predates git history; before the mentioned commit in
the critical scenario, the kernel stopped sending redirects, after
the mentioned commit the behavior more randomic.
