phonet: properly unshare skbs in phonet_rcv()

2016-01-28T10:51:50+00:00

commit 7aaed57c5c2890634cfadf725173c7c68ea4cb4f upstream.

Ivaylo Dimitrov reported a regression caused by commit 7866a621043f
("dev: add per net_device packet type chains").

skb->dev becomes NULL and we crash in __netif_receive_skb_core().

Before above commit, different kind of bugs or corruptions could happen
without major crash.

But the root cause is that phonet_rcv() can queue skb without checking
if skb is shared or not.

Many thanks to Ivaylo Dimitrov for his help, diagnosis and tests.

net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messages

2014-04-24T17:44:54+00:00

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
privileged executable did not intend to do.

To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.

2014-04-11T20:15:36+00:00

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:

	skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
	sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);

But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up.  So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.

Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.

And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument.  And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.

So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

net: add build-time checks for msg->msg_name size

2014-01-19T07:04:16+00:00

This is a follow-up patch to f3d3342602f8bc ("net: rework recvmsg
handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic").

DECLARE_SOCKADDR validates that the structure we use for writing the
name information to is not larger than the buffer which is reserved
for msg->msg_name (which is 128 bytes). Also use DECLARE_SOCKADDR
consistently in sendmsg code paths.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2013-11-19T23:50:47+00:00

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as
  well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer
  period of time"

 1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink
    registration.  Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant
    counts for their ops array rather than something like
    ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar.  Also, some genetlink protocols were
    using fixed IDs for their multicast groups.

    We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools
    working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by
    other protocols can not possibly conflict.

    In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state
    management for genetlink operations and multicast groups.

 2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several
    drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value
    is one the driver actually supports.  From Ben Hutchings.

 3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar.

 4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order
    relative to skb_scrub_packet().  From Alexei Starovoitov.

 5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make
    calls to netdev_ops->ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid.  Fix from Toshiaki
    Makita.

 6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to
    prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita.

 7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices
    that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance
    decrease.  One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in
    wireless.  From Eric Dumazet.

 8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts
    here.  Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones.

 9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn.

10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the
    virtio-net header into account.  From Michael Dalton.

11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt.  statistic
    bumping, this one has been with us for a while.  From Eric Dumazet.

12) Fix NULL deref in the new TIPC fragmentation handling, from Erik
    Hugne.

13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka
    Rissanen.

14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt.  propagating LRO
    disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way.  From Michal
    Kubecek.

15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from
    Daniel Mack.

16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet.

17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on
    partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue.

18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol
    initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little.  Fix
    from Vlad Yasevich.

19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that
    blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to
    userspace.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.  There is another fix in the
    works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature.

20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du.

inet: prevent leakage of uninitialized memory to user in recv syscalls

2013-11-18T20:12:03+00:00

Only update *addr_len when we actually fill in sockaddr, otherwise we
can return uninitialized memory from the stack to the caller in the
recvfrom, recvmmsg and recvmsg syscalls. Drop the the (addr_len == NULL)
checks because we only get called with a valid addr_len pointer either
from sock_common_recvmsg or inet_recvmsg.

If a blocking read waits on a socket which is concurrently shut down we
now return zero and set msg_msgnamelen to 0.
