[ Upstream commit 92964c79b357efd980812c4de5c1fd2ec8bb5520 ]

When we free cb-&gt;skb after a dump, we do it after releasing the
lock.  This means that a new dump could have started in the time
being and we'll end up freeing their skb instead of ours.

This patch saves the skb and module before we unlock so we free
the right memory.

[ Upstream commit 1853c949646005b5959c483becde86608f548f24 ]

Ken-ichirou reported that running netlink in mmap mode for receive in
combination with nlmon will throw a NULL pointer dereference in
__kfree_skb() on nlmon_xmit(), in my case I can also trigger an "unable
to handle kernel paging request". The problem is the skb_clone() in
__netlink_deliver_tap_skb() for skbs that are mmaped.

I.e. the cloned skb doesn't have a destructor, whereas the mmap netlink
skb has it pointed to netlink_skb_destructor(), set in the handler
netlink_ring_setup_skb(). There, skb-&gt;head is being set to NULL, so
that in such cases, __kfree_skb() doesn't perform a skb_release_data()
via skb_release_all(), where skb-&gt;head is possibly being freed through
kfree(head) into slab allocator, although netlink mmap skb-&gt;head points
to the mmap buffer. Similarly, the same has to be done also for large
netlink skbs where the data area is vmalloced. Therefore, as discussed,
make a copy for these rather rare cases for now. This fixes the issue
on my and Ken-ichirou's test-cases.

[ Upstream commit 2ea2f62c8bda242433809c7f4e9eae1c52c40bbe ]

When I added pfmemalloc support in build_skb(), I forgot netlink
was using build_skb() with a vmalloc() area.

In this patch I introduce __build_skb() for netlink use,
and build_skb() is a wrapper handling both skb-&gt;head_frag and
skb-&gt;pfmemalloc

This means netlink no longer has to hack skb-&gt;head_frag

[ Upstream commit 2ea2f62c8bda242433809c7f4e9eae1c52c40bbe ]

When I added pfmemalloc support in build_skb(), I forgot netlink
was using build_skb() with a vmalloc() area.

In this patch I introduce __build_skb() for netlink use,
and build_skb() is a wrapper handling both skb-&gt;head_frag and
skb-&gt;pfmemalloc

This means netlink no longer has to hack skb-&gt;head_frag

[ Upstream commit a18e6a186f53af06937a2c268c72443336f4ab56 ]

Each mmap Netlink frame contains a status field which indicates
whether the frame is unused, reserved, contains data or needs to
be skipped. Both loads and stores may not be reordeded and must
complete before the status field is changed and another CPU might
pick up the frame for use. Use an smp_mb() to cover needs of both
types of callers to netlink_set_status(), callers which have been
reading data frame from the frame, and callers which have been
filling or releasing and thus writing to the frame.

- Example code path requiring a smp_rmb():
  memcpy(skb-&gt;data, (void *)hdr + NL_MMAP_HDRLEN, hdr-&gt;nm_len);
  netlink_set_status(hdr, NL_MMAP_STATUS_UNUSED);

- Example code path requiring a smp_wmb():
  hdr-&gt;nm_uid	= from_kuid(sk_user_ns(sk), NETLINK_CB(skb).creds.uid);
  hdr-&gt;nm_gid	= from_kgid(sk_user_ns(sk), NETLINK_CB(skb).creds.gid);
  netlink_frame_flush_dcache(hdr);
  netlink_set_status(hdr, NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID);

[ Upstream commit 4682a0358639b29cf69437ed909c6221f8c89847 ]

Checking the file f_count and the nlk-&gt;mapped count is not completely
sufficient to prevent the mmap'd area contents from changing from
under us during netlink mmap sendmsg() operations.

Be careful to sample the header's length field only once, because this
could change from under us as well.

commit 24dff96a37a2ca319e75a74d3929b2de22447ca6 upstream.

we used to check for "nobody else could start doing anything with
that opened file" by checking that refcount was 2 or less - one
for descriptor table and one we'd acquired in fget() on the way to
wherever we are.  That was race-prone (somebody else might have
had a reference to descriptor table and do fget() just as we'd
been checking) and it had become flat-out incorrect back when
we switched to fget_light() on those codepaths - unlike fget(),
it doesn't grab an extra reference unless the descriptor table
is shared.  The same change allowed a race-free check, though -
we are safe exactly when refcount is less than 2.

It was a long time ago; pre-2.6.12 for ioctl() (the codepath leading
to ppp one) and 2.6.17 for sendmsg() (netlink one).  OTOH,
netlink hadn't grown that check until 3.9 and ppp used to live
in drivers/net, not drivers/net/ppp until 3.1.  The bug existed
well before that, though, and the same fix used to apply in old
location of file.

[ Upstream commit ac30ef832e6af0505b6f0251a6659adcfa74975e ]

netlink_dump() returns a negative errno value on error.  Until now,
netlink_recvmsg() directly recorded that negative value in sk-&gt;sk_err, but
that's wrong since sk_err takes positive errno values.  (This manifests as
userspace receiving a positive return value from the recv() system call,
falsely indicating success.) This bug was introduced in the commit that
started checking the netlink_dump() return value, commit b44d211 (netlink:
handle errors from netlink_dump()).

Multithreaded Netlink dumps are one way to trigger this behavior in
practice, as described in the commit message for the userspace workaround
posted here:
    http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2014-June/042339.html

This commit also fixes the same bug in netlink_poll(), introduced in commit
cd1df525d (netlink: add flow control for memory mapped I/O).

[ Upstream commit 2d7a85f4b06e9c27ff629f07a524c48074f07f81 ]

It was possible to get a setuid root or setcap executable to write to
it's stdout or stderr (which has been set made a netlink socket) and
inadvertently reconfigure the networking stack.

To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and
the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network
stack.

Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg
and creates it's socket without any privileges.

To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the
socket has privilege when a destination address is specified.  Instead
rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket.

Note from Andy: This is exactly Eric's code except for some comment
clarifications and formatting fixes.  Neither I nor, I think, anyone
else is thrilled with this approach, but I'm hesitant to wait on a
better fix since 3.15 is almost here.

Note to stable maintainers: This is a mess.  An earlier series of
patches in 3.15 fix a rather serious security issue (CVE-2014-0181),
but they did so in a way that breaks Zebra.  The offending series
includes:

    commit aa4cf9452f469f16cea8c96283b641b4576d4a7b
    Author: Eric W. Biederman &lt;ebiederm@xmission.com&gt;
    Date:   Wed Apr 23 14:28:03 2014 -0700

        net: Add variants of capable for use on netlink messages

If a given kernel version is missing that series of fixes, it's
probably worth backporting it and this patch.  if that series is
present, then this fix is critical if you care about Zebra.

[ Upstream commit 2d7a85f4b06e9c27ff629f07a524c48074f07f81 ]

It was possible to get a setuid root or setcap executable to write to
it's stdout or stderr (which has been set made a netlink socket) and
inadvertently reconfigure the networking stack.

To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and
the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network
stack.

Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg
and creates it's socket without any privileges.

To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the
socket has privilege when a destination address is specified.  Instead
rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket.
