[ 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.

<title>ipvs: stop tot_stats estimator only under CONFIG_SYSCTL</title>

[ Upstream commit 9802d21e7a0b0d2167ef745edc1f4ea7a0fc6ea3 ]

The tot_stats estimator is started only when CONFIG_SYSCTL
is defined. But it is stopped without checking CONFIG_SYSCTL.
Fix the crash by moving ip_vs_stop_estimator into
ip_vs_control_net_cleanup_sysctl.

The change is needed after commit 14e405461e664b
("IPVS: Add __ip_vs_control_{init,cleanup}_sysctl()") from 2.6.39.

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), &amp;dh);

... where dh itself is a pointer that is being passed as the copy
buffer. Instead, we need to use &amp;_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.

commit 3a7b21eaf4fb3c971bdb47a98f570550ddfe4471 upstream.

Some Cisco phones create huge messages that are spread over multiple packets.
After calculating the offset of the SIP body, it is validated to be within
the packet and the packet is dropped otherwise. This breaks operation of
these phones. Since connection tracking is supposed to be passive, just let
those packets pass unmodified and untracked.

<title>ip: generate unique IP identificator if local fragmentation is allowed</title>

[ 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.

The reason for this patch is crash in kmemdup

matchoff and matchlen.

Removing Zero check of matchlen since it's done by ct_sip_get_header()

commit 4a70bbfaef0361d27272629d1a250a937edcafe4 upstream.

We spare nothing by not validating the sequence number of dataless
ACK packets and enabling it makes harder off-path attacks.

commit 64f509ce71b08d037998e93dd51180c19b2f464c upstream.

Clients should not send such packets. By accepting them, we open
up a hole by wich ephemeral ports can be discovered in an off-path
attack.

<title>netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix racy timer handling with reliable events</title>

commit 5b423f6a40a0327f9d40bc8b97ce9be266f74368 upstream.

Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack
entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled.
In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were
just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may
hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such
list.

This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for
event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension.
Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions
to allocate this area on demand.

commit 82e6bfe2fbc4d48852114c4f979137cd5bf1d1a8 upstream.

Commit v2.6.19-rc1~1272^2~41 tells us that r-&gt;cost != 0 can happen when
a running state is saved to userspace and then reinstated from there.

Make sure that private xt_limit area is initialized with correct values.
Otherwise, random matchings due to use of uninitialized memory.
