inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count

2014-08-14T01:24:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 73f156a6e8c1074ac6327e0abd1169e95eb66463 ]

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.

linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.

1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes

2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
   with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.

3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
   is about 20.

4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
   not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
   the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())

5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.

IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'

Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.

We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.

ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)

secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.

Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

core, nfqueue, openvswitch: Orphan frags in skb_zerocopy and handle errors

2014-07-31T19:53:52+00:00

commit 36d5fe6a000790f56039afe26834265db0a3ad4c upstream.

skb_zerocopy can copy elements of the frags array between skbs, but it doesn't
orphan them. Also, it doesn't handle errors, so this patch takes care of that
as well, and modify the callers accordingly. skb_tx_error() is also added to
the callers so they will signal the failed delivery towards the creator of the
skb.

ipvs: Fix panic due to non-linear skb

commit f44a5f45f544561302e855e7bd104e5f506ec01b upstream.

Receiving a ICMP response to an IPIP packet in a non-linear skb could
cause a kernel panic in __skb_pull.

net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messages

2014-06-26T19:12:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 90f62cf30a78721641e08737bda787552428061e ]

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
privileged executable did not intend to do.

To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

netfilter: nf_conntrack_dccp: fix skb_header_pointer API usages

2014-04-03T19:01:05+00:00

commit b22f5126a24b3b2f15448c3f2a254fc10cbc2b92 upstream.

Some occurences in the netfilter tree use skb_header_pointer() in
the following way ...

  struct dccp_hdr _dh, *dh;
  ...
  skb_header_pointer(skb, dataoff, sizeof(_dh), &dh);

... where dh itself is a pointer that is being passed as the copy
buffer. Instead, we need to use &_dh as the forth argument so that
we're copying the data into an actual buffer that sits on the stack.

Currently, we probably could overwrite memory on the stack (e.g.
with a possibly mal-formed DCCP packet), but unintentionally, as
we only want the buffer to be placed into _dh variable.

netfilter: nf_nat: fix access to uninitialized buffer in IRC NAT helper

2014-01-15T23:28:53+00:00

commit 2690d97ade05c5325cbf7c72b94b90d265659886 upstream.

Commit 5901b6be885e attempted to introduce IPv6 support into
IRC NAT helper. By doing so, the following code seemed to be removed
by accident:

  ip = ntohl(exp->master->tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_REPLY].tuple.dst.u3.ip);
  sprintf(buffer, "%u %u", ip, port);
  pr_debug("nf_nat_irc: inserting '%s' == %pI4, port %u\n", buffer, &ip, port);

This leads to the fact that buffer[] was left uninitialized and
contained some stack value. When we call nf_nat_mangle_tcp_packet(),
we call strlen(buffer) on excatly this uninitialized buffer. If we
are unlucky and the skb has enough tailroom, we overwrite resp. leak
contents with values that sit on our stack into the packet and send
that out to the receiver.

Since the rather informal DCC spec [1] does not seem to specify
IPv6 support right now, we log such occurences so that admins can
act accordingly, and drop the packet. I've looked into XChat source,
and IPv6 is not supported there: addresses are in u32 and print
via %u format string.

Therefore, restore old behaviour as in IPv4, use snprintf(). The
IRC helper does not support IPv6 by now. By this, we can safely use
strlen(buffer) in nf_nat_mangle_tcp_packet() and prevent a buffer
overflow. Also simplify some code as we now have ct variable anyway.

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.

ip: generate unique IP identificator if local fragmentation is allowed

2013-10-13T23:08:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 703133de331a7a7df47f31fb9de51dc6f68a9de8 ]

If local fragmentation is allowed, then ip_select_ident() and
ip_select_ident_more() need to generate unique IDs to ensure
correct defragmentation on the peer.

For example, if IPsec (tunnel mode) has to encrypt large skbs
that have local_df bit set, then all IP fragments that belonged
to different ESP datagrams would have used the same identificator.
If one of these IP fragments would get lost or reordered, then
peer could possibly stitch together wrong IP fragments that did
not belong to the same datagram. This would lead to a packet loss
or data corruption.

netfilter: ipset: Fix serious failure in CIDR tracking

2013-10-01T16:17:48+00:00

commit 2cf55125c64d64cc106e204d53b107094762dfdf upstream.

This fixes a serious bug affecting all hash types with a net element -
specifically, if a CIDR value is deleted such that none of the same size
exist any more, all larger (less-specific) values will then fail to
match. Adding back any prefix with a CIDR equal to or more specific than
the one deleted will fix it.

Steps to reproduce:
ipset -N test hash:net
ipset -A test 1.1.0.0/16
ipset -A test 2.2.2.0/24
ipset -T test 1.1.1.1           #1.1.1.1 IS in set
ipset -D test 2.2.2.0/24
ipset -T test 1.1.1.1           #1.1.1.1 IS NOT in set

This is due to the fact that the nets counter was unconditionally
decremented prior to the iteration that shifts up the entries. Now, we
first check if there is a proceeding entry and if not, decrement it and
return. Otherwise, we proceed to iterate and then zero the last element,
which, in most cases, will already be zero.
