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-&gt;master-&gt;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, &amp;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.

<title>netfilter: fix wrong byte order in nf_ct_seqadj_set internal information</title>

commit 23dfe136e2bf8d9ea1095704c535368a9bc721da upstream.

In commit 41d73ec053d2, sequence number adjustments were moved to a
separate file. Unfortunately, the sequence numbers that are stored
in the nf_ct_seqadj structure are expressed in host byte order. The
necessary ntohl call was removed when the call to adjust_tcp_sequence
was collapsed into nf_ct_seqadj_set. This broke the FTP NAT helper.
Fix it by adding back the byte order conversions.

<title>netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs</title>

[ Upstream commit 6aafeef03b9d9ecf255f3a80ed85ee070260e1ae ]

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

&lt;example&gt;
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)
&lt;/example&gt;

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.

====================
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for your net
tree, they are:

* Fix BUG_ON splat due to malformed TCP packets seen by synproxy, from
  Patrick McHardy.

* Fix possible weight overflow in lblc and lblcr schedulers due to
  32-bits arithmetics, from Simon Kirby.

* Fix possible memory access race in the lblc and lblcr schedulers,
  introduced when it was converted to use RCU, two patches from
  Julian Anastasov.

* Fix hard dependency on CPU 0 when reading per-cpu stats in the
  rate estimator, from Julian Anastasov.

* Fix race that may lead to object use after release, when invoking
  ipvsadm -C &amp;&amp; ipvsadm -R, introduced when adding RCU, from Julian
  Anastasov.

TCP packets hitting the SYN proxy through the SYNPROXY target are not
validated by TCP conntrack. When th-&gt;doff is below 5, an underflow happens
when calculating the options length, causing skb_header_pointer() to
return NULL and triggering the BUG_ON().

Handle this case gracefully by checking for NULL instead of using BUG_ON().

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.

commit c5549571f975ab ("ipvs: convert lblcr scheduler to rcu")
allows RCU readers to use dest after calling ip_vs_dest_put().
In the corner case it can race with ip_vs_dest_trash_expire()
which can release the dest while it is being returned to the
RCU readers as scheduling result.

To fix the problem do not allow e-&gt;dest to be replaced and
defer the ip_vs_dest_put() call by using RCU callback. Now
e-&gt;dest does not need to be RCU pointer.
