netfilter: Can't fail and free after table replacement

2014-05-31T04:52:11+00:00

commit c58dd2dd443c26d856a168db108a0cd11c285bf3 upstream.

All xtables variants suffer from the defect that the copy_to_user()
to copy the counters to user memory may fail after the table has
already been exchanged and thus exposed. Return an error at this
point will result in freeing the already exposed table. Any
subsequent packet processing will result in a kernel panic.

We can't copy the counters before exposing the new tables as we
want provide the counter state after the old table has been
unhooked. Therefore convert this into a silent error.

netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs

2013-12-08T15:29:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6aafeef03b9d9ecf255f3a80ed85ee070260e1ae ]

Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example
for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following
example:


On HOSTA do:
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT

and on HOSTB you do:
ping6 HOSTA -s2000    (MTU is 1500)

Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does
not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen)


As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use
reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side
effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams
dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed.

Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c
entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

netfilter: nf_conntrack_ipv6: Plug sk_buff leak in fragment handling

2013-06-20T10:01:24+00:00

In commit 4cdd3408 ("netfilter: nf_conntrack_ipv6: improve fragmentation
handling"), an sk_buff leak was introduced when dealing with reassembled
packets by grabbing a reference to the original skb instead of the
reassembled skb.  At this point, the leak only impacted conntracks with an
associated helper.

In commit 58a317f1 ("netfilter: ipv6: add IPv6 NAT support"), the bug was
expanded to include all reassembled packets with unconfirmed conntracks.

Fix this by grabbing a reference to the proper reassembled skb.  This
closes netfilter bugzilla #823.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

netfilter: xt_rpfilter: depend on raw or mangle table

2013-04-18T22:22:55+00:00

rpfilter is only valid in raw/mangle PREROUTING, i.e.
RPFILTER=y|m is useless without raw or mangle table support.

netfilter: xt_rpfilter: skip locally generated broadcast/multicast, too

2013-04-18T22:11:59+00:00

Alex Efros reported rpfilter module doesn't match following packets:
IN=br.qemu SRC=192.168.2.1 DST=192.168.2.255 [ .. ]
(netfilter bugzilla #814).

Problem is that network stack arranges for the locally generated broadcasts
to appear on the interface they were sent out, so the IFF_LOOPBACK check
doesn't trigger.

As -m rpfilter is restricted to PREROUTING, we can check for existing
rtable instead, it catches locally-generated broad/multicast case, too.

netfilter: add my copyright statements

2013-04-18T18:27:55+00:00

Add copyright statements to all netfilter files which have had significant
changes done by myself in the past.

Some notes:

- nf_conntrack_ecache.c was incorrectly attributed to Rusty and Netfilter
  Core Team when it got split out of nf_conntrack_core.c. The copyrights
  even state a date which lies six years before it was written. It was
  written in 2005 by Harald and myself.

- net/ipv{4,6}/netfilter.c, net/netfitler/nf_queue.c were missing copyright
  statements. I've added the copyright statement from net/netfilter/core.c,
  where this code originated

- for nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c I've also added Jozsef, since I didn't want
  it to give the wrong impression
