ipv6: udp packets following an UFO enqueued packet need also be handled by UFO

2013-10-13T21:51:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2811ebac2521ceac84f2bdae402455baa6a7fb47 ]

In the following scenario the socket is corked:
If the first UDP packet is larger then the mtu we try to append it to the
write queue via ip6_ufo_append_data. A following packet, which is smaller
than the mtu would be appended to the already queued up gso-skb via
plain ip6_append_data. This causes random memory corruptions.

In ip6_ufo_append_data we also have to be careful to not queue up the
same skb multiple times. So setup the gso frame only when no first skb
is available.

This also fixes a shortcoming where we add the current packet's length to
cork->length but return early because of a packet > mtu with dontfrag set
(instead of sutracting it again).

Found with trinity.

ipv6: ip6_sk_dst_check() must not assume ipv6 dst

2013-07-28T23:18:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit a963a37d384d71ad43b3e9e79d68d42fbe0901f3 ]

It's possible to use AF_INET6 sockets and to connect to an IPv4
destination. After this, socket dst cache is a pointer to a rtable,
not rt6_info.

ip6_sk_dst_check() should check the socket dst cache is IPv6, or else
various corruptions/crashes can happen.

Dave Jones can reproduce immediate crash with
trinity -q -l off -n -c sendmsg -c connect

ipv6: fix possible crashes in ip6_cork_release()

2013-06-27T17:34:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 284041ef21fdf2e0d216ab6b787bc9072b4eb58a ]

commit 0178b695fd6b4 ("ipv6: Copy cork options in ip6_append_data")
added some code duplication and bad error recovery, leading to potential
crash in ip6_cork_release() as kfree() could be called with garbage.

use kzalloc() to make sure this wont happen.

ipv6: fix incorrect ipsec fragment

2012-06-09T15:33:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0c1833797a5a6ec23ea9261d979aa18078720b74 ]

Since commit ad0081e43a
"ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed"
the fragment of packets is incorrect.
because tunnel mode needs IPsec headers and trailer for all fragments,
while on transport mode it is sufficient to add the headers to the
first fragment and the trailer to the last.

so modify mtu and maxfraglen base on ipsec mode and if fragment is first
or last.

with my test,it work well(every fragment's size is the mtu)
and does not trigger slow fragment path.

Changes from v1:
	though optimization, mtu_prev and maxfraglen_prev can be delete.
	replace xfrm mode codes with dst_entry's new frag DST_XFRM_TUNNEL.
	add fuction ip6_append_data_mtu to make codes clearer.

net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()

Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.

ipv6: fix NULL dereference in udp6_ufo_fragment()

2011-10-16T21:14:54+00:00

This patch fixes the issue caused by ef81bb40bf15f350fe865f31fa42f1082772a576
which is a backport of upstream 87c48fa3b4630905f98268dde838ee43626a060c. The
problem does not exist in upstream.

We do not check whether route is attached before trying to assign ip
identification through route dest which lead NULL pointer dereference. This
happens when host bridge transmit a packet from guest.

This patch changes ipv6_select_ident() to accept in6_addr as its paramter and
fix the issue by using the destination address in ipv6 header when no route is
attached.

ipv6: make fragment identifications less predictable

2011-08-16T01:31:37+00:00

[ Backport of upstream commit 87c48fa3b4630905f98268dde838ee43626a060c ]

Fernando Gont reported current IPv6 fragment identification generation
was not secure, because using a very predictable system-wide generator,
allowing various attacks.

IPv4 uses inetpeer cache to address this problem and to get good
performance. We'll use this mechanism when IPv6 inetpeer is stable
enough in linux-3.1

For the time being, we use jhash on destination address to provide less
predictable identifications. Also remove a spinlock and use cmpxchg() to
get better SMP performance.

inet: Decrease overhead of on-stack inet_cork.

2011-05-06T22:37:57+00:00

When we fast path datagram sends to avoid locking by putting
the inet_cork on the stack we use up lots of space that isn't
necessary.

This is because inet_cork contains a "struct flowi" which isn't
used in these code paths.

Split inet_cork to two parts, "inet_cork" and "inet_cork_full".
Only the latter of which has the "struct flowi" and is what is
stored in inet_sock.
