commit 916a27901de01446bcf57ecca4783f6cff493309 upstream.

The capability check in nfnetlink_rcv() verifies that the caller
has CAP_NET_ADMIN in the namespace that "owns" the netlink socket.
However, xt_osf_fingers is shared by all net namespaces on the
system.  An unprivileged user can create user and net namespaces
in which he holds CAP_NET_ADMIN to bypass the netlink_net_capable()
check:

    vpnns -- nfnl_osf -f /tmp/pf.os

    vpnns -- nfnl_osf -f /tmp/pf.os -d

These non-root operations successfully modify the systemwide OS
fingerprint list.  Add new capable() checks so that they can't.

commit 4b380c42f7d00a395feede754f0bc2292eebe6e5 upstream.

The capability check in nfnetlink_rcv() verifies that the caller
has CAP_NET_ADMIN in the namespace that "owns" the netlink socket.
However, nfnl_cthelper_list is shared by all net namespaces on the
system.  An unprivileged user can create user and net namespaces
in which he holds CAP_NET_ADMIN to bypass the netlink_net_capable()
check:

    $ nfct helper list
    nfct v1.4.4: netlink error: Operation not permitted
    $ vpnns -- nfct helper list
    {
            .name = ftp,
            .queuenum = 0,
            .l3protonum = 2,
            .l4protonum = 6,
            .priv_data_len = 24,
            .status = enabled,
    };

Add capable() checks in nfnetlink_cthelper, as this is cleaner than
trying to generalize the solution.

 INVITE,NOTIFY,OPTIONS,REFER,REGISTER,UPDATE,SUBSCRIBE

commit 00a3101f561816e58de054a470484996f78eb5eb upstream.

Like NFQNL_MSG_VERDICT_BATCH do, we should also reject the verdict
request when the portid is not same with the initial portid(maybe
from another process).

commit b173a28f62cf929324a8a6adcc45adadce311d16 upstream.

The 'name' filed in struct nf_conntrack_expect_policy{} is not a
pointer, so check it is NULL or not will always return true. Even if the
name is empty, slash will always be displayed like follows:
  # cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack_expect

<title>netfilter: x_tables: speed up jump target validation</title>

<content type='text'>
commit f4dc77713f8016d2e8a3295e1c9c53a21f296def upstream.

The dummy ruleset I used to test the original validation change was broken,
most rules were unreachable and were not tested by mark_source_chains().

In some cases rulesets that used to load in a few seconds now require
several minutes.

sample ruleset that shows the behaviour:

echo "*filter"
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
        printf ":chain_%06x - [0:0]\n" $i
done
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
done
echo COMMIT

[ pipe result into iptables-restore ]

This ruleset will be about 74mbyte in size, with ~500k searches
though all 500k[1] rule entries. iptables-restore will take forever
(gave up after 10 minutes)

Instead of always searching the entire blob for a match, fill an
array with the start offsets of every single ipt_entry struct,
then do a binary search to check if the jump target is present or not.

After this change ruleset restore times get again close to what one
gets when reverting 36472341017529e (~3 seconds on my workstation).

[1] every user-defined rule gets an implicit RETURN, so we get
300k jumps + 100k userchains + 100k returns -&gt; 500k rule entries

[ Upstream commit 83d90219a5df8d950855ce73229a97b63605c317 ]

The nf_ct_helper_hash table is protected by nf_ct_helper_mutex, while
nfct_helper operation is protected by nfnl_lock(NFNL_SUBSYS_CTHELPER).
So it's possible that one CPU is walking the nf_ct_helper_hash for
cthelper add/get/del, another cpu is doing nf_conntrack_helpers_unregister
at the same time. This is dangrous, and may cause use after free error.

Note, delete operation will flush all cthelpers added via nfnetlink, so
using rcu to do protect is not easy.

Now introduce a dummy list to record all the cthelpers added via
nfnetlink, then we can walk the dummy list instead of walking the
nf_ct_helper_hash. Also, keep nfnl_cthelper_dump_table unchanged, it
may be invoked without nfnl_lock(NFNL_SUBSYS_CTHELPER) held.
