[ Upstream commit 42dcfd850e514b229d616a53dec06d0f2533217c ]

Commit c6af0c227a22 ("ip: support SO_MARK cmsg")
added propagation of SO_MARK from cmsg to skb-&gt;mark.
For IPv4 and raw sockets the mark also affects route
lookup, but in case of IPv6 the flow info is
initialized before cmsg is parsed.

[ Upstream commit 61e18ce7348bfefb5688a8bcd4b4d6b37c0f9b2a ]

When addr_gen_mode is set to IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_NONE, the link-local addr
should not be generated. But it isn't the case for GRE (as well as GRE6)
and SIT tunnels. Make it so that tunnels consider the addr_gen_mode,
especially for IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_NONE.

Do this in add_v4_addrs() to cover both GRE and SIT only if the addr
scope is link.

commit 4785305c05b25a242e5314cc821f54ade4c18810 upstream.

A group of security researchers brought to our attention
the weakness of hash function used in rt6_exception_hash()

Lets use siphash instead of Jenkins Hash, to considerably
reduce security risks.

Following patch deals with IPv4.

[ Upstream commit 310e2d43c3ad429c1fba4b175806cf1f55ed73a6 ]

ip6tables only sets the `IP6T_F_PROTO` flag on a rule if a protocol is
specified (`-p tcp`, for example).  However, if the flag is not set,
`ip6_packet_match` doesn't call `ipv6_find_hdr` for the skb, in which
case the fragment offset is left uninitialized and a garbage value is
passed to each matcher.

[ Upstream commit 8d6c414cd2fb74aa6812e9bfec6178f8246c4f3a ]

The commit 6da5b0f027a8 ("net: ensure unbound datagram socket to be
chosen when not in a VRF") modified compute_score() so that a device
match is always made, not just in the case of an l3mdev skb, then
increments the score also for unbound sockets. This ensures that
sockets bound to an l3mdev are never selected when not in a VRF.
But as unbound and bound sockets are now scored equally, this results
in the last opened socket being selected if there are matches in the
default VRF for an unbound socket and a socket bound to a dev that is
not an l3mdev. However, handling prior to this commit was to always
select the bound socket in this case. Reinstate this handling by
incrementing the score only for bound sockets. The required isolation
due to choosing between an unbound socket and a socket bound to an
l3mdev remains in place due to the device match always being made.
The same approach is taken for compute_score() for stream sockets.

It seems that this bug has already been fixed by Eric Dumazet in the

But a variant of the same issue has been introduced in
commit d64d80a2cde9 ("netfilter: x_tables: don't extract flow keys on early demuxed sks in socket match")

`daddr` and `saddr` potentially hold a reference to ipv6_var that is no

[ Upstream commit a00df2caffed3883c341d5685f830434312e4a43 ]

Even after commit 4785305c05b2 ("ipv6: use siphash in rt6_exception_hash()"),
an attacker can still use brute force to learn some secrets from a victim
linux host.

One way to defeat these attacks is to make the max depth of the hash
table bucket a random value.

Before this patch, each bucket of the hash table used to store exceptions
could contain 6 items under attack.

After the patch, each bucket would contains a random number of items,
between 6 and 10. The attacker can no longer infer secrets.

This is slightly increasing memory size used by the hash table,
we do not expect this to be a problem.

Following patch is dealing with the same issue in IPv4.
