commit ad5d07f4a9cd671233ae20983848874731102c08 upstream.

The current CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting scheme for the DOI
definitions is a bit flawed in that we:

1. Don't correctly match gets/puts in netlbl_cipsov4_list().
2. Decrement the refcount on each attempt to remove the DOI from the
   DOI list, only removing it from the list once the refcount drops
   to zero.

This patch fixes these problems by adding the missing "puts" to
netlbl_cipsov4_list() and introduces a more conventional, i.e.
not-buggy, refcounting mechanism to the DOI definitions.  Upon the
addition of a DOI to the DOI list, it is initialized with a refcount
of one, removing a DOI from the list removes it from the list and
drops the refcount by one; "gets" and "puts" behave as expected with
respect to refcounts, increasing and decreasing the DOI's refcount by
one.

Fixes: b1edeb102397 ("netlabel: Replace protocol/NetLabel linking with refrerence counts")
Fixes: d7cce01504a0 ("netlabel: Add support for removing a CALIPSO DOI.")

[ Upstream commit 866358ec331f8faa394995fb4b511af1db0247c8 ]

The current NetLabel code doesn't correctly keep track of the netlink
dump state in some cases, in particular when multiple interfaces with
large configurations are loaded.  The problem manifests itself by not
reporting the full configuration to userspace, even though it is
loaded and active in the kernel.  This patch fixes this by ensuring
that the dump state is properly reset when necessary inside the
netlbl_unlabel_staticlist() function.

[ Upstream commit d3b990b7f327e2afa98006e7666fb8ada8ed8683 ]

This patch fixes two main problems seen when removing NetLabel
mappings: memory leaks and potentially extra audit noise.

The memory leaks are caused by not properly free'ing the mapping's
address selector struct when free'ing the entire entry as well as
not properly cleaning up a temporary mapping entry when adding new
address selectors to an existing entry.  This patch fixes both these
problems such that kmemleak reports no NetLabel associated leaks
after running the SELinux test suite.

The potentially extra audit noise was caused by the auditing code in
netlbl_domhsh_remove_entry() being called regardless of the entry's
validity.  If another thread had already marked the entry as invalid,
but not removed/free'd it from the list of mappings, then it was
possible that an additional mapping removal audit record would be
generated.  This patch fixes this by returning early from the removal
function when the entry was previously marked invalid.  This change
also had the side benefit of improving the code by decreasing the
indentation level of large chunk of code by one (accounting for most
of the diffstat).

[ Upstream commit eead1c2ea2509fd754c6da893a94f0e69e83ebe4 ]

The cipso and calipso code can set the MLS_CAT attribute on
successful parsing, even if the corresponding catmap has
not been allocated, as per current configuration and external
input.

Later, selinux code tries to access the catmap if the MLS_CAT flag
is present via netlbl_catmap_getlong(). That may cause null ptr
dereference while processing incoming network traffic.

Address the issue setting the MLS_CAT flag only if the catmap is
really allocated. Additionally let netlbl_catmap_getlong() cope
with NULL catmap.

Add options to strictly validate messages and dump messages,
sometimes perhaps validating dump messages non-strictly may
be required, so add an option for that as well.

Since none of this can really be applied to existing commands,
set the options everwhere using the following spatch:

    identifier ops;
    expression X;
    @@
    struct genl_ops ops[] = {

            ...
     },
    ...
    };

For new commands one should just not copy the .validate 'opt-out'
flags and thus get strict validation.

Add options to strictly validate messages and dump messages,
sometimes perhaps validating dump messages non-strictly may
be required, so add an option for that as well.

Since none of this can really be applied to existing commands,
set the options everwhere using the following spatch:

    @@
    identifier ops;
    expression X;
    @@
    struct genl_ops ops[] = {
    ...,
     {
            .cmd = X,
    +       .validate = GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_STRICT | GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_DUMP,
            ...
     },
    ...
    };

For new commands one should just not copy the .validate 'opt-out'
flags and thus get strict validation.

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:

    +nlmsg_validate_deprecated(NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, 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.
