[ Upstream commit 99a63d36cb3ed5ca3aa6fcb64cffbeaf3b0fb164 ]

Domingo Dirutigliano and Nicola Guerrera report kernel panic when
sending nf_queue verdict with 1-byte nfta_payload attribute.

The IP/IPv6 stack pulls the IP(v6) header from the packet after the
input hook.

If user truncates the packet below the header size, this skb_pull() will
result in a malformed skb (skb-&gt;len &lt; 0).

commit c3873070247d9e3c7a6b0cf9bf9b45e8018427b1 upstream.

Eric Dumazet says:
  The sock_hold() side seems suspect, because there is no guarantee
  that sk_refcnt is not already 0.

On failure, we cannot queue the packet and need to indicate an
error.  The packet will be dropped by the caller.

v2: split skb prefetch hunk into separate change

Fixes: 271b72c7fa82c ("udp: RCU handling for Unicast packets.")

<title>netfilter: fix regression in looped (broad|multi)cast's MAC handling</title>

[ Upstream commit ebb966d3bdfed581ecccbb4a7432341baf7619b4 ]

In commit 5648b5e1169f ("netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: fix OOB when mac
header was cleared"), the test for non-empty MAC header introduced in
commit 2c38de4c1f8da7 ("netfilter: fix looped (broad|multi)cast's MAC
handling") has been replaced with a test for a set MAC header.

This breaks the case when the MAC header has been reset (using
skb_reset_mac_header), as is the case with looped-back multicast
packets.  As a result, the packets ending up in NFQUEUE get a bogus
hwaddr interpreted from the first bytes of the IP header.

This patch adds a test for a non-empty MAC header in addition to the
test for a set MAC header.  The same two tests are also implemented in
nfnetlink_log.c, where the initial code of commit 2c38de4c1f8da7
("netfilter: fix looped (broad|multi)cast's MAC handling") has not been
touched, but where supposedly the same situation may happen.

On 64bit platforms the MAC header is set to 0xffff on allocation and
also when a helper like skb_unset_mac_header() is called.

dev_parse_header may call skb_mac_header() which assumes valid mac offset:

[ Upstream commit ee921183557af39c1a0475f982d43b0fcac25e2e ]

Frontend callback reports EAGAIN to nfnetlink to retry a command, this
is used to signal that module autoloading is required. Unfortunately,
nlmsg_unicast() reports EAGAIN in case the receiver socket buffer gets
full, so it enters a busy-loop.

This patch updates nfnetlink_unicast() to turn EAGAIN into ENOBUFS and
to use nlmsg_unicast(). Remove the flags field in nfnetlink_unicast()
since this is always MSG_DONTWAIT in the existing code which is exactly
what nlmsg_unicast() passes to netlink_unicast() as parameter.

<title>netlink: make validation more configurable for future strictness</title>
<updated>2019-04-27T21:07:21+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c'/>
<id>8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently have two levels of strict validation:

 1) liberal (default)
     - undefined (type &gt;= max) &amp; NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted
     - garbage at end of message accepted
 2) strict (opt-in)
     - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted

Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
 * TRAILING     - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
                  attributes (in message or nested)
 * MAXTYPE      - reject attrs &gt; max known type
 * UNSPEC       - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
 * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size

The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().

Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.

We end up with the following renames:
 * nla_parse           -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated
 * nla_parse_strict    -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nlmsg_parse         -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated
 * nlmsg_parse_strict  -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nla_parse_nested    -&gt; nla_parse_nested_deprecated
 * nla_validate_nested -&gt; nla_validate_nested_deprecated

Using spatch, of course:
    @@
    expression TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT;
    @@
    -nla_parse(TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT)

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.

Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.

Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.

In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.

We currently have two levels of strict validation:

 1) liberal (default)
     - undefined (type &gt;= max) &amp; NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted
     - garbage at end of message accepted
 2) strict (opt-in)
     - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted

Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
 * TRAILING     - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
                  attributes (in message or nested)
 * MAXTYPE      - reject attrs &gt; max known type
 * UNSPEC       - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
 * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size

The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().

Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.

We end up with the following renames:
 * nla_parse           -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated
 * nla_parse_strict    -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nlmsg_parse         -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated
 * nlmsg_parse_strict  -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nla_parse_nested    -&gt; nla_parse_nested_deprecated
 * nla_validate_nested -&gt; nla_validate_nested_deprecated

Using spatch, of course:
